Still after my comments last night at least I can sympathize with the OP desires to buy. Manly is nice. (Shameless plug) I liked Bondi better!
If I remember correctly and this is something I’m not real sure of, and exchange rate of 1.5 AUD : 1 USD is pretty average historically. Nominal prices in OZ are much higher. Its only since the US went on its latest leverage binge that the AUD strengthened significantly. If it gets closer to 2:1 then I would consider jumping in for currency arbitrage investment reasons as much as real pricing in AUD terms. Of course it would still have to be at least a reasonable deal (of which there aren’t any yet) in AUD terms.
