It does seem that many people feel that the price of Beer in Australia is very high in comparison to the prices in Britain.
I am not sure if that is only for drinking in Pubs, or for purchases from the Bottle Shops.
In late 2008, I saw these prices for drinks served in pubs:
NSW
$3.90 Schooner
$3.10 Middy
NSW
$3.50 Schooner
$2.50 Middy
QLD
$3.50 Schooner in RSL
$3.90 Schooner
