I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

yup, have dads garage downstairs which will have everything you need to make stuff.
although most local arilines wont allow firestaffs on their planes - although you can hide poi in your luggage

Diving dreams is pretty good https://www.divingdreams.com.au/scuba.gen/livetrip/64.
You can get your open water course for under $250, and trips out to the reef start at bout $100.
I also have a pretty mean tool box... althoughi sorta inherited it so i have no idea what a ratchet set is
. It more then suits my needs when i need to make anything new ($300 worth of kevlar arriving in the next few days 
!)
JBT is less then a month away!
Quick stop in a magical cow paddock for supplies and then into the rainforest for the weekend

Quick stop in a magical cow paddock for supplies and then into the rainforest for the weekend There is a world made of air, one of earth and one of water.
And there is one made of fire, and all of them fight for supremacy. They are fighting now, in my head.
How do you change this thing???

i think it depends on your airline. i took mine on 6 flights using 2 different airlines (air canada and malaysian airlines) and i had my short staff bagged, and each end wrapped securely with packing tape, then wrapped in bubble wrap and my long (unburnt) staff wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in a black garbage bag, then wrapped packing tape all up and down to make it tough to undo, then put a big FRAGILE note on it, and mine made it through the LA airport, which was the toughest. btw, when coming into new zealand, they are really sticky on what comes in, and they will have you fill out a card before they let you off the plane. they will ask you all sorts of questions about what you've been in contact with in the past month including if you've been in any rural areas, that sort of thing. just so you're not surprised. and pm me if you plan on coming into nz.
have fun!! sounds like a fun trip!

ok mech... i think we might have to be a bit more selective here....
being blunt, ive seen a few travellers pass through oz, and heres some tips....
1. domestic airlines wont permit fire staffs on the planes. they even get touchy with virgin wick.
2. think about what you REALLY need...do you really need more than one set of poi in any case? this leads on to
3. at most spinning juggling gatherings, most guys are pretty relaxed with sharing equipment. while youre in sydney, my assorted collection of poi, staffs, and assorted juggling equipment is your disposal. likewise most spinners youll be staying with are similarly generous.
my advice is, pack the bare minimum, and dont bother with the fire stuff. borrow it from the various nice people over here, because it will make packing and getting on plane easier, and you wont have the pressure of having to sell stuff before you leave.
all you really need it a couple of practise staffs, a couple of sets of poi, maybe your contact ball, and diabolo.
that will take up enough weight...maybe even too much. 20kg doesnt get you far.
if you do need to make stuff, i have a well equipped garage at home.
hope that helps.

Yeah, I'd definately sit down and have a long, hard think about what stuff you really need.
I brought lots of toys out with me, and I've had to do washing more often because to make space for them all I had to lose some clothes.
In fact, I think I brought the same volume of toys as I did shirts. Probably not too wise in retrospect.
The 20kg luggage limit is really pretty easy to keep to, I never bothered weighing my stuff before I left england, I just stuffed everything into my rucksack (it works out at about 65 litres). The last time I flew, I looked at the scales when I was checking in and my stuff comes to about 15kgs.
If you're worried, pack stuff that's relatively small and heavy into your hand luggage, although there's technically a limit to how much that can weigh, I've never had mine checked.
Also, the airline staff seem to be much more lenient if you check in much earlier than is suggested on your tickets, plus that also has the added bonus of being able to ask for the emergency exit seats, which gives you the luxury of being able to stretch out your legs
Another word of advice - don't pack your bags completely full. You'll undoubtedly be buying stuff while you're here and you're going to need somewhere to put it.
For a while, I carried around a pair of virgin fire poi, not wanting to burn them until I got to Melbourne (because I knew I'd be there for a fair while), and because I didn't want the hassle of trying to get them onto a plane with me after they'd been burnt.
I lit them in Melbourne and I've since flown twice with no problems at all. I just stuck them into a tupperware style container and stuffed that into my hold luggage.
I wouldn't want to try it with a staff though, you're probably more likely to have problems with something that obvious. Unless you really need your own kit, I'd just stick with Dentrassi's suggestion and borrow stuff instead.
How's the balloon apron/bag coming along by the way? I enlisted the help of a certain Flynt-like person for mine and it's turned out great.
I've got some pictures that I'll email you when I next get to a computer that I can plug my camera into.
