Australia: ass end of the world

Hi to all you lucky northern hemispheric KateFans,

I went down to the local Brash's store ( A local record store chain
here is Australia ). Firstly, noting that not only did they
not have a special Kate section, but they didnt even have any of her
CD's either, I pressed on regardless.
I went up to the sales assistant and asked if I could order "The Line,
The Cross and the Curve" and while I was at it
"The Sensual World" as well.  After looking at me with a look that
said "Ive never heard of them.." she looked up the Video catalogue
and to my utter astonishment said that the only two Kate videos
currently available in Australia are "The Single File" and "The Whole Story".
Apparently, the record company has not seen fit to release any videos
here since the mid 80's.

Our Prime Minister was surely correct when he described this
country as "The ass end of the world".

Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Perhaps someone knows
how I can order them internationally..  PAL format of course. 

Im sure there are other Aussie KateFan's who feel equally deprived...
