Applecare covers stuff like hardware failures and in the past a  
courier has been sent to my house with an empty cardboard box for me  
to put my Powerbook in. He then takes it back to Apple for repair &  
returns it when it's fixed.

It may well be that Apple don't have the facilities to undertake this  
in Mauritius. You may have to register using your (or a friend's)  
Aussie address and accept that you'll need to ship it there yourself  
(so that Apple can collect from the registered address) in the event  
of failure.

However, I always deal with Applecare on the phone, and recommend you  
give them a bell. You don't need to register your Applecare online,  
but can do it with one of the friendly & helpful staff on the phone  
numbers you'll find in the support section of Apple's website. They  
may well be able to accommodate your Mauritius address.
