James, Posting items internationally from the US is not difficult. Paying can be more of a problem (scams), and issues are much more difficult to resolve because of the distance. Poor understanding of import duties or attempts to avoid them are problematic as well (No, I won't insure it for $600 but mark it's value as $50 or say it is a gift!). Offer to pay in US$ and ask the seller if they will ship to you in AU. Most of them have just overlooked that option. If this doesn't work, try Cotty's advice of a middle man. I had a nice 645 lens show up in my mail one day that I happily shipped on to AU. Regards, Bob S.
