| With airmail there's unlucky to be any specific "last day" as such. All I know is that I'll need to send cards etc before the end of this week to realistically expect them to arrive before Christmas. But I'm sending mine to England - my guess is that for Australia you can add a few more days. |

I sent a letter back home and they told me it would arrive with in 2-4 weeks, if it doesn't get lost  |

1st class airmail takes 7-10 days usually. |

Actually, from Asia mail generally gets to Australia faster than to Europe.
I send things to both continents regularly, often at the same time, and they always turn up in Australia first.
I would say definitely by the end of the week - no later than that. Things seem to take longer coming into Korea than going out. |

By "add a few days", I mean you can extend the period that you have to send the card/package for a few more days. As Australia is closer to Korea than England, and has closer links in many areas, it is only natural that letters to Australia will arrive quicker  |
