Where can I find an address to send a care package to the Australian Troops in Iraq?
I've been looking for the same information and have so far not come across anything like a direct address to send care packages to Aussie troops. It seems the only way to do this would be to have a family member or close friend in active service give you a postal address to send them a package personally.However, I have come across the RSL-Australian Forces Overseas Fund.Go to http://www.rsl.org.au/ (go to "Supporting Current ADF" from the left menu, then click "RSL Australian Forces Overseas Fund") Make sure you use Internet Explorer - Firefox makes the site do wiggy things!They send out care packages to the troops twice a year - one mid-year, and one at Christmas. At this time, they only seem to be taking monetary donations that go towards the cost of the care packages. (They make sure that each serving member receives a box of goodies from home)You could always try writing to one of the state RSL branches for more information: (as copied from the RSL AFOF pamphlet available in PDF format on the RSL AFOF site www.rsl.org.au)QLD: PO Box 629, Spring Hill, QLD 4004NSW: ANZAC House, 245 Castlereagh St, Sydney NSW 2000VIC: ANZAC House, 4 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000SA/NT: ANZAC House,Torrens Training Depot, Victoria Drive, Adelaide SA 5000WA: ANZAC House, PO Box Y3023, Perth WA 6832TAS: ANZAC House, 68 Davey St, Hobart TAS 7000ACT: ANZAC House, GPO Box 708, Canberra ACT 2601I will be contacting my state (WA) RSL branch to see if there is any way to send care packages personally to any soldier(s)/regiment(s) actively serving overseas. Should I find anything useful, I will be sure to share this information (security permitting) and I would hope that you (or anyone else) would do the same.I can be contacted via email shanyarAThotmailDOTcom.Good luck!Shannon
