Seasoned with oil for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with useUnparalleled in heat retention and even heatingAt home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfireBrutally tough for decades of cooking; Easy care: hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oilMade in USA
>Australia sites/stores are no longer competing against online stores with a 10% price benefit. So, you know, local suppliers and employees benefit
I'd say this relies on a premise which just often isn't tru.
The idea that the price benefit is only 10% just doesn't bear out a lot of the time. Let me give you an example - this cast iron dutch oven, from Amazon US, costs 73 USD (~97 AUD) shipped to Australia. If 10% GST was charged on the whole transaction, you'd be looking at something like 106 AUD total.
However, Lodge, the manufacturer of the good, sell these direct to the Australian market for 149.95 AUD including shipping; similarly, Kitchen Warehouse sell the same good for 143.20 currently on sale; normal price being 179 AUD not including shipping.
So, for just one example - and keep in mind, it's a heavy good which costs a ton to ship - it's still a LOT cheaper to buy the good from Amazon US than it is to buy either direct from the manufacturer's online Australian presence, or from another Australian retailer.
It's not the 10% that's making the difference for consumers - in this case, it's the other 40% of the price. I'd gladly pay an extra to get the item in Australia (for quick shipping, ease of returns, and easier warranty enforcement, and hell, to generate some tax money) if that was the difference; but, often, the difference is significantly more.
This makes it look like the issue is really about taking choice away from Australian customers by creating burdensome arrangements which slow down these sorts of transactions and create paperwork headaches, whilst also making it even less attractive for Australian consumers to get the best deal on goods.
Right. It’s the lodge 4 qt.

I'll throw in a vote for Lodge as well. I have two of 4 qt round that I find work perfectly for baking bread. I also have an 8 qt Le Creuset I picked up at an estate sale. It's awesome, but I don't think I'd ever pay full price.
Kind of an FYI for /r/breadit and OP.
I bake my bread in a dutch oven, but my fathers' been looking for one, also for bread.
Just bought a Lodge 4 qt. dutch oven for my father last night after watching the price change 3 times over the last week. From $57 down to now $32. This is as cheap as you're ever going to find it if you want to get one.

I know they're not terribly high-end, but I like Lodge.
I have two more questions. Sorry for being a total newbie.
First, the entire concept of disturbing bread in between proofing and baking sounds crazy to me. In every recipe I've made, I'd let the bread proof on an aluminum pan and then carefully place it in the oven to bake. I thought that if the CO2 built up during the proof gets released, you'd get a flat bread. Is proofing there to build up the flavor or to shape the bread? What happens when the dough falls 6 inches? Do you get decent bread from it?
Also, I've read a bit about proofing directly in a cold dutch oven and adding 10 minutes to the baking time. I don't know if this will work well, but it does overcome the problem of placing bread in a ridiculously hot oven.
Right now, I'm leaning toward this guy:

Although I could save some money with this and line it with aluminum foil, as you suggested.

Happy to help! The links below are pulled right from my amazon order history.
I don't have a picture of the pre-proofed dough, unfortunately, but I would say that it filled about half of the proofing basket. The baskets themselves are 9 inches, however.
