That was a good thing, because when I inquired about what Australia Post charges for re-directing private mail, it just overwhelmed me.

Getting your letters redirected to your new address for only one month within Australia costs AUD 30.80 and up to 3 months AUD 53.10 ….

Worldwide it is AUD 115 for one month and AUD 297.55 (!!!) for 3 months. For one year it would be a stunning AUD 1,124.85. Two years would then cost AUD 2,249.70. Remember, I paid AUD 55.00 for two years from Europe to Australia.

Now I understand why we regularly have been receiving letters addressed to people who previously had lived at our current address. Understandably, considering the mail redirection prices of Australia Post, people are reluctant to redirect the mail for more than 1 to 3 months.
