No worries - although the NT can be much slower to receive its mail than other places.

My mum mailed 3 postcards from Singapore - my sister in Newcastle NSW received hers 2 days later, my aunt in England got hers the day after that. Took a week and a half for the Darwin one to arrive and we are only a 4 hour flight away!!
