French man posts cocaine to outback town

A French man has been charged for allegedly posting drugs from his home country to a remote Northern Territory town.

Police say the 30-year-old man posted cocaine and cannabis from France to an address in Yulara, north of Uluru in Australia's red centre.

"The offender sent two packages to Australia from France, before travelling to Yulara to collect them," Detective Superintendent Michael White said.

The first package of cocaine and marijuana arrived last Wednesday and a second was intercepted by police.

The French man was arrested on Friday and charged with bringing a border control substance into Australia and supplying drugs.

He was remanded in custody to appear in the Alice Springs Local Court on Monday.
