Here in Canada, we've always had about a 25% markup on the price of goods vs the USA. Most of our population lives near the border, and cross-border shopping isn't rare. I wonder if we too wouldn't see the same ridiculous markup on goods as seen by you Australians if we didn't have such ready access to the American market. It must be something in the colonial waters (or Commonwealth waters, since the Brits don't seem to be immune either).
