IIRC, a ten pound box was about $80. But what I should have done was ship a box from Launceston to my hotel in Sydney on that Thursday - I was just worried that Australia Post might have some of the same issues as the USPS and the box would take a full week to get there and I'd be home already.

The shipping is often reasonable - it's the "and handling" that gets you. I always mean to do something like this when I go on vacation, and never remember to actually do it. K-) Nick,
