Shipping to Australia

I have an Australian girl staying with me who is going home very soon. She is only allowed to take one suitcase with her and therefore needs to ship some of her things home.
I have not managed to find any cheap way of shipping a couple of large boxes back to Australia for her.
Any advice would be very welcome.

    Google for 'excess baggage'. There are several firms that ship boxes, containers etc, we did this for a Kiwi friend a few years ago.

    I had to ship a large antique dresser and they found me the cheapest way to ship it.

    Best of luck
