You should be able to find someone on the swap list who will ship to  
you. These will fit in a Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box which is US 
$12.95 or send a  first class parcel for US$10.40. So you should be  
able to get 1.5GB for US$70 (AU$84) or so shipped to you.

There is the mainland US, referred to as the lower 48 states. Then  
there are 2 outlying states. Alaska (AK), off the NW border of Canada,  
and Hawaii (HI), an island In the Pacific 1/3 of the way to you. US  
Possessions are various territories scattered  that the US has come to  
be in possession of through various wars, treaties and such.

Since these are not part of the contiguous 48 states, shipping is  
normally more expensive since a boat or plane is normally involved.

I don't know how Australian shipping works, but it would be like  
warning someone that shipping a refrigerator from Melborne to Hobart,  
Tasmania will be more expensive than shipping it from Melbourne to  
Canberra.
