Price: USD$11.29 plus postage from the USA, so the cost of a single calendar posted to Australia should be slightly more than AUD$20.  Multiple purchases are bundled together, reducing the average cost of postage per calendar.
Note: You are purchasing direct from Lulu.com in the USA; the price is in USD$.  Vic is not involved.
