Unfortunately, it's made in China, however, I personally think it's good value as is.
If you are eligible for AMEX 15% Off $100+ USD, the final price comes out to be USD $152.95 + USD $10.25 Shipping, AUD $223.93 in total.
Without AMEX Offer:
USD $190.20, AUD $261.04 Shipped
I've not included green one while it is cheaper (USD $0.72) as it would take 1~2 months before it is shipped and the shipping is slightly higher. However, that's an option if you want a green one.
