I haven't actually done it, but I've looked into it - yes, over $1000 there is a 10% duty - but first you have to add on the shipping (around $300) before you do the calculation - and there are numerous other charges and fees on the Oz end too, it is prohibitive. Wonder why top-end guitars are so expensive in Oz? The dealers aren't *******s, they have to cover all these expenses as well as making a profit. It does make me wonder why Cole Clarkes and Matons are the price they are, since they don't have to cover those expenses....

Anyway, I solved it by moving to the US.
