I'm not in Australia, but I wasn't on the list either.
Have a look around, there are companies set up in America that act as US delivery addresses, which will then send them on to you to Australia as private delivery, thus avoiding the sales tax. You still get hit the US sales tax, but that is much less than the Australian rate. Plus being under $1000, you don't get slugged the GST.

I was in DC last month, and a few Aussies were telling me about it, I haven't looked into it yet, but I know they exist.
