SPOnG Travel Tips: When travelling to Australia's glamorous Gold Coast, remember to pack swimming costume, mosquito repellent, a hat and some decent beer. Do not do as a pair of Canadians and one New Zealander did, and pack 3,400 MDMA tablets "in an old PlayStation machine and inside the cover of a PlayStation game".
You will get nabbed at customs in Sydney - who will inevitably confiscate your PS2 and E. This recently happened to 18 year-old Canadians Tyson Saviro Santolla and Jonothan Bradley Reid and their 20 year-old Kiwi cohort, Samuel Alexander Crompton.
According to the Gold Coast news, "The drugs, concealed in four large packets, weighing 900 grams, will undergo further forensic testing to determine their exact quantity and purity."
There is no news as to the fate of the 'old PlayStation' and the name of the game (we think it must be Katamari) is being witheld to protect the innocent.

Aye. Sydney can be a tad hardcore when it comes to customs. In fact, even out on the street can be interesting. I used to work in Quay Street near Central Station near China Town. I'd often spend fun lunchtimes watching tourists getting busted during random searches. The NSW police would wander around the streets with their sniffer dogs just walking up to backpackers and sniffing their trousers and bags. Much hilarity ensued for onlookers.
Personally, I can't see why on earth they didn't fly directly to the bloody Gold Coast. Actually, I can - the Queenslanders would probably have burnt them as witches firstly for speaking funny and secondly for having a magic box in which tiny game (stoned) characters live. I mean, in a state where licking cane toads is a fun night out, well... I rest my case.
(Ecstasy is a rubbish drug as well - the Blues Brothers of drugs)

I, of course, would have no idea as I am high on life and have just said 'No' as Mrs Regan kindly suggested.
That said, I do spend roughly 90% of my life drunk out of my mind and high in peyote buttons (peyote is natural and part of my religion) brought to me by Conchita, the Underwater Castle's deliciously clean and nut-brown coral wrangler.
Cheers
