Ultralight sleeping bags can be cheaper bought from the US.
I upgraded my bushwalking gear with these for a Tassie trip:

I love them but if you are car camping you wouldn't buy ultralight gear,
and if you feel the cold you'd go for a warmer sleeping bag.
If you are looking locally, checkout Macpac I like the look of their
sleeping bags and the other gear they are selling - and they have good
sales a couple of time a year if you can wait.
One tip for sleeping warmer is to add to your insulation from the
ground by putting a blue foam mat (Clark rubber & K-mart sell
them) under what ever you are sleeping on. If its a regular air
mattress, if I have the physics right, it would better to put
the blue mat on top of the air mattress - if you can.
I'm saving up to get something like this for Tassie bushwalking in winter:
