It was meant to take a little over a week in the post, but three-year-old Beau's fruitcake ended up going on a one month, 7,000-kilometre tour of eastern Australia thanks to a recycled box.
Beau's grandmother Tricia Agar said the cake, baked at Wyandra in western Queensland, had been destined for her parents who lived in Oakey, 150 kilometres west of Brisbane, when it was sent in August.
But the parcel, instead of travelling down the Warrego Highway, got bounced between Charleville, Toowoomba, Brisbane and Melbourne.
