The Australia story doesn't surprise me at all. Sometimes I send my sister in Sydney airmail postcards from England. It takes them five days to reach Sydney airport and then another two months to travel the one mile from the airport to her house.

Weird!

P.S. Actually, my mom had it happen that a card took two weeks to be delivered within the same city, here in the U.S.

And, I recall reading a story, which took place back in the 1950s or so, a post office in the UK was being demolished, and some letters were found that had fallen behind the baseboards. This particular letter was forwarded--the address still existed, and a now-elderly son of the original addressee was still residing there. So the son paid a few pence extra postage and read the letter with interest ;)
