The other thing to remember with ordering online is that it adds to the sales figures of the country you're buying from rather than that of your own, which will mean the record company will be more likely to expand their promotion in that market rather than that of your home country.
Of course, sometimes it's obvious that they're never going to release it where you are, and then ordering online becomes the only realistic option (though there's no harm in pestering the record company a bit).
Of course, I say all this, but haven't always practised what I preach - I did buy both Tres Lunas and The Millennium Bell DVD from Germany rather than the UK, due to the fact that I couldn't be bothered waiting for Warner to get their act together with release dates. It actually only cost me, including postage, about the same as it would have done buying in the UK. Their postage charges to Australia may be less than you imagine...
