You can send up to 2# of stuff from the US to Australia for $6.95, although
the price may have gone up a little bit since the small price increase in
postage that happened in early January. The package would be considered
Global Priority, and should take 3 to 5 days to reach it's destination in
Australia. Oh, and anything sent from the US that has postage of more than $3
is considered priority, though unless it is Global Priority it will be
considered first class mail once it reaches the hub airport where airmail for
Australia is sent to.
If you send something via bulk mail however it could take months to reach
Australia. So spend a little more money and send it either first class of
global priority.
