FED:Send care packages to the troops abroad

If you're in the mood to spread some Christmas cheer .. try sending a care package
to Australian troops on duty in the Middle East .. East Timor and the Solomon Islands.

Defence Personnel Minister WARREN SNOWDON says packages that weigh less than two kilos
can be sent by the Australian Defence Force postal service for free.

Care packages can contain pretty much anything .. sweets are always popular .. but
not alcohol .. tobacco or porn.

Mr SNOWDON says packages can be posted up to December 15 which will give Australia
Post and Defence enough time to get them to deployed personnel in remote areas.
