Pardon my naivete', but is there some reason you cannot mailorder
these books from a US or other mailorder house?  I'm not familiar with
international mailorder restrictions/procedures/limitations.  Many
mailorder ads & catalogs list both US & Canadian prices, so *that*
border seems open.  Unless, of course, the Australian edition is
written in a different language.  (just kidding :-)
