The Membership renewal mentioned something about AIRMAIL being
expensive, so they'd ship by surface :-( Last year's cost around $30
US to airmail, so I can see why I have to pay extra to get it here.

I think you are... I think they're coming by paddle steamer and
camel.  You'd think they'd (air-)freight the directories into Oz, like
they do for the bi-weekly, which is posted at Mascot.

Having to wait so long - 3 months - makes it less valuable to me, as
I have to use old data.

There must be enough Members down-under to justify air-freight.
