but to continue on from the messages posted in that thread ...

Same issue with Officeworks - acres of office stuff & little real variety. Tried to buy carbon paper - staff looked at each other, shrugged & said "what's that?) :?. At a stationary store for @#$% sake!!)

Funny you should mention that, I actually have an almost full 100 sheet box of A4 carbon paper sitting on a shelf behind me. I have used a sheet three times in the last 10-15 years. Carbon paper was also used in typewriters and receipt books, now I am showing my age! :)

My request above was for some carbon paper to use for transferring designs from paper to wood for some pyrography & carving. I would have been happy with either "pencil" or "typing" but NOT at $190 for a small box - GULP :oo: !!
so is the solution for RossM (who lives in Sydney) to ask Ed.. (who lives in Queensland) if he can buy up to 10 sheets of Ed's carbon paper ?
Even at $1 per sheet, Ross would still be $180 ahead.
and as far as I know, AustraliaPost is still delivering between the two states
