I'll ask my daughter tomorrow. She gets small boxes of nuts delivered through the normal postal service for her husband.
I'll send the information when I have it.

In the meantime have a look a this site....

http://www.thefruitbox.com.au/

There is delivery to Canberra.
It's aimed at healthy office snacks but if you email the business you'll get a better insight into what they will offer and do for you.

Hi Laura - Robinne, my daughter, has given me the wrong URL for her nuts delivery and I'll have to contact here again, but here is probably the best nuts and dried fruit business in Australia.

http://www.charlesworthnuts.com.au

Have a look and read through the website. It was my Uncle Herbert who began the business before I was born and his son, my cousin, Chappy Charlesworth, took over the business when I was about 10 years old. I didn't even think of Charlesworth's Nuts until I tried to Google the URL Robinne gave me and when I saw http://www.charlesworthnuts.com.au/ I said, 'Of course, Charlesworth's Nuts!!'
The business now is run by younger members of Chappy's family and with whom I've lost contact many years ago. All I do now is eat and enjoy the nuts that my oldest daughter, Kathy, buys for me at the Central Adelaide Market when they are going to visit us here, 440Km away.

If you email them and let them know what you want and why, I'm sure you'll get a good hearing and a lot of support. I'd be very, very surprised if they didn't find some way to help you.

Other American people have ordered from Charlesworth's Nuts but the parcel must be delivered in Australia. Postage costs are worked out on the delivery address and size of the parcel but I'm sure that you'll get all the information you need if you email them.

I will still ask Robinne to give me the correct URL and when she does I'll send that one, too.

Hi Laura,

Another great place in Adelaide is Haigh's Chocolates! I'll add the web address.

I'm from Adelaide, South Australia too and I remember fondly Charlesworth's Nuts - they were great.

Love and blessings Chris


P.S. There is a great site for nuts and fruit from Nuts about Fruit! Renmark has some of the best fruit in Australia.

As for me I think the best Dried Apricots come from Angaston, again in South Australia. Link below
