Why not order from Australia ?

Apparently it only works one way.

 

I have ordered things from the UK for about 35 years with no issues. I would expect "add to cart" works exactly the same with shops this side of the globe.

 

I have the book, it is lovely. Purchased it after camping for a week and riding on the Walhalla Railway.

 Kev,

If you locate the book here and they won't ship to the UK PM me. We can exchange details and I will buy and ship for you.

Airmail - especially for books has gone through the roof in the last few years. I purchased a copy of LNWR wagons recently and the post was 27GBP. The VAT on your side is a bit of a whack extra though. That being said, paypal is very generously collecting GST on all imports for our Government - even on things that are GST exempt!
