I see $31.99 in Australia too... This is making me rage a little inside. It's a DIGITAL BOOK Amazon. DIGITAL. Bits. I know it's a little bit further to Australia but for the love of...

Amazon is like the Harvey Two-Face -- half amazing and half frustrating. I have a Kindle Fire in Australia, but as Australia isn't an official country yet, Amazon Market doesn't work. And by doesn't work I mean I can't even download free applications without an American credit card. Amazon support know this and just apologise.

When friends ask me about the Kindle Fire in Australia, I won't say good stuff about it. When it finally is released here, do you think they'll be it? No. They'll remember I said it was annoying for some reason. The reason doesn't matter. Bad is bad so they'll decide, many moons ago, that they're not getting it.

Amazon in Australia are horrible. For many, many reasons[1].

I'd be pretty surprised if Amazon were responsible for this particular pricing. You're probably better of directing your rage at the publisher.
