Hopefully the Aussie dollar will recover ground again one day in the future.

QHY Also make a KAF8300 based camera.. The QHY9... Cools relatively quickly, and can go to -50c from ambient... They are priced at ~$4400Au or there abouts with a 2" filter wheel...

Thats probably the cheapest way to get into the KAF8300..
