How do I buy an Apple Gift Card for someone in Australia if I live in South Africa?

Hi!

I want to buy an Apple Gift Card for a family member who lives in Melbourne, Australia. I live in South Africa.

This has to be possible, but I'm stumped.

I am able to select the Gift Card in the Apple Australia store and specify the amount, recipient, and sender. I'm also able to enter credit card details. After this, I am asked for a billing address. I live in South Africa, but the only options provided for a billing address are: the UK, US, Canada, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. I'm not sure what to do here.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thank you.

Thx. I was on the Australia Store - Apple Store Online - Apple (AU)

The problem I'm having is that the Australia Apple Store only allows me to enter a billing address in one of the 6 countries mentioned. So I can enter all of the details to buy the Gift Card. I just can't provide a billing address or phone number that's acceptable.
