How do you know how much 1st class postage is to Australia? If you do know that, this would probably work.

I take the thin cardboard boxes from the PO, the little ones for priority.
They a not full thickness.? I have been cutting a square out, 2" masking tape them in the slot.
2 sheets of paper around the cardboard in a long business size envelope.? So far 3 $0.49 stamps.
I have got not returns?? I do NOT take them to the gal at the PO, but put them in the slot outside!
I took a 2x4"? board and got a quote for Australia and it was $13.75 plus paperwork to fill out.
So now "I don't tell and don't ask"!

I do know that I can send 4 of my TFT/vfo boards domestically for $2.67. Beyond that, I don't know.

Jack,
How much does your board weigh?
Does anyone know how much a double sided 1/16" PCB weighs per Sq Inch?
I need to know!?? I ggoogled for a while and gave up.? There were calculators but complicated.
I need to find my scale!
Thanks

you shoulda been able to send it for one Forever stamp.

Wrong. That's the lowest rate you can get for a parcel. Anything that is over 1.4" thick or can't be bent is a parcel. With deceptive packaging you can send it for less, but to me, that's a crap shoot and is risky.
