It's a damn shame about the shipping costs. This would have been a great little scope for the kids to use and a nice souvenir of IYA2009. But at roughly $55AUD it's hardly worth it, especially considering that Dick Smith have a 50mm 600mm FL Celestron refractor on a kid-friendly Alt-Az mount for $58. I'm considering this for future use with the kids as a first scope.
