Pearson has an Australian operation, but it's a fair bet this book is actually published and manufactured in the US, so a paper copy you buy in Oz is an import from halfway round the globe. Guess what that does to costs?
If you can order from a US supplier like Amazon and get it shipped overseas, you'll likely do better, though I don't see Amazon free shipping extending to Oz.
