France: € 289,99, minus 20% taxes = € 241,66 (= $ 281,11)
Spain: € 289,99, minus 21% taxes = € 239,66 (= $ 278,78)
Italy: € 289,99, minus 22% taxes = € 237,70 (= $ 276,50)
Australia: AUD 439.95, minus 10% taxes = AUD 399,95 (=$ 298,93)

So there is a slight mark up for countries outside the US, but it is not "$100" and not unique to Australia.

Thanks for this excellent summary. Out of curiosity, I decided to see how Australia's neighbor fared on that list - they seem to have the 'honor' of paying the most, around $305US before taxes are added. Crossing the water from Australia adds about $7 US it seems
