The Aussie dollar hasn't done much really. The US dollar has tanked due to the feds policy on printing money and as a result the US dollar has been brought down to the level of our dollar. This means you aren't really getting over charged or ripped off, it is more that the US is now getting a much better deal, the reality is US prices should actually be climbing (but I doubt any of them will do that as it doesn't make for good press).
