It looks like they're shipping the notebooks directly from China for now. My BTO MBP shipped from China so it is not unusual.

That's where they make them. Where do you think the actual Apple stores in Canada get them?

They ship most stuff straight from the factory. 🙂

Read up on Bauxite. Australia has the most bauxite mined, followed by China in second, followed by Brazil. Of course much of aluminum these days is recycled.

Yep - there's probably a little bit of Australia in every single new laptop.

Feels pretty good actually.
