G'day Aaron,

>From past experience, I estimate the weight to be about 80Kg without the
monitors or magazines.
Australia Post don't seem to handle anything heavier than 20Kg internationally
so I checked the DHL website which uses a weird system of 'volumetric weight'
where weight doesn't come into the equation.  A suitable size package (about the
size of a large TV box) would cost (and I quote) $3038.63 Australian.  If you
weren't sitting I expect you'd be flat on your back by now!
