Hello

Are you talking a sizable amount or just a tourist amount? If it's a small amount you probably wont get much more than 1.65 wherever you do it. If it's a large anount then you can try someone like HIFX http://www.hifx.co.uk/ who will give you a better rate (although I'm not sure you can use them if you don't have a UK address - if they don't, ask them if they can recommend someone).

Regards
Alistair

You can use HIFX outside of the Uk. The Australian Dollar is a very volatile currency and changes every couple of minutes. The daily rate is $ 1.657 - Euro 1. at the moment. It has been about two momths since the $ was as high as 1.75. With Australia not increasing their interest rates last week you may find that you will get a better rate in a few weeks as the markets stabalise.
