OZ has very high import duties. Most of your high prices are from your government.

We have no duty on cars or parts older than 25 years.

Those who do not have access to a M-B dealer with reasonable prices I suggest you try out David Gallon (dgallon@cox.net).  
I was looking for the trim ring around the torsion bar in the glove box and asked Brian Peters (of MotoringInvestments.com) for help who referred me to Dave. Turns out the part is NLA but is reproduced by "Hans in Sweden" and sold by Dave here in the USA. (See Hans' post here: http://pagoda113.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2076001521/m/5361084631).

When I asked Dave about other parts I found out- to my delight - that he sells all M-B parts far below list price.  He also tries to find the least expensive way of shipping. Give him a try.
