After reading these last few posts, that's how us Yanks used to look at going to Canada, with the exchange difference, but you guys are talking about pure retail prices. With the US and Oz dollar being on par I have to wonder why so many of your items cost so much more. I can figure taxes added to the prices which we don't have here in the US, and a little more for less volume being shipped to Oz, but that's it. I can see prices being a little higher but not so much higher.

And if prices are still like that at the current exchange rate in a couple years my wife and I may have to think again about a trip to Australia. I wonder how much tourism is impacted by the higher prices?
