I would never buy a book from an Australian publisher if they are charging that much if there is an option to get from a US/UK

It also happens sometimes in the Spanish speaking markets... Last year people in Spain were somewhat upset at the high prices for A Dance with Dragons (46€ in hardcover and 38€ in paperback - released 3 weeks later) and when they later discovered that the international MMPB edition in Spanish was being released a few months later for about 10€ (and you could get it with free shipping from The Book Depository).
