Australia Post mail truck fire
Monday, 19 December 2011
A large truck contracted by Australia Post to transport mail items from Perth to Brisbane over the weekend caught fire near Tweed Heads in New South Wales early on Sunday 18 December.
Unfortunately the fire totally destroyed the truck along with the contents which were parcels bound for Queensland.
It took about an hour for the fire to be contained, luckily the driver escaped unharmed and there were no other injuries resulting from the fire.
Australia Post has requested an investigation into the cause of the fire.
Customers who were expecting to receive a parcel from Western Australia that was posted around Tuesday 13 December for a Queensland address may have been impacted by the incident.
Customers who sent a parcel that is not received in the next few days by the recipient are encouraged to:
