Since there was no egg carving craft activity in Australia at the time, when Kuan first made his request the government authorities didn't believe that the eggs could really be carved. But after seeing his egg carvings, they agreed to supply a limited number of eggs every year.
由於該國並無蛋雕工藝，當初關椿邁提出申請時，澳洲官員根本不相信蛋也可以雕刻，但在看過他的蛋雕作品後，才答應每年限量供應。
