I started with Postgresql (Korry and Susan Douglas). It's a simple
enough book to start with and gives more information about
Administration than some of the books that you have listed. It costs
$49.99 USD.
PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook - $99.95 Ewald Geschwinde ;Hans-Jurgen
Schoenig (This is a really good book if you are a developer)
Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL - $94.95 Richard Stones ;Neil
Matthew
(This is one book I would not recommend - Just a rehash of some of the
other books that are out there).
The prices that you have listed are downright scary. I don't know what
the conversion rate is but surely you can get some cheaper books from
amazon.com if that option is available to you 'Down Under'.

Hari

Schoenig
PostgreSQL Essential Reference - $84.95 Barry Stinson
Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL - $94.95 Richard Stones ;Neil
Matthew
PostgreSQL - $95.94 Bruce Momjian
Book Of Postgresql - $79.95 Robert Bernier
Any recommendations from this list would be appreciated
Cheers and thanks
Kim
