Im in the same position as you, i need to exchange some money.
My thoughts (and they are only mine - not professional) are that the trend of AUD $ will continue to get stronger thoughout the year. However i still think it will correct itself a few times thoughout the year but dont have my hopes on it getting weaker than 2.50 to the pound at any given time.
Again, just my thoughts judging by the weakness of the $ US Dollar and the likelyhood of increased Interest Rates in Oz and commodities gaining strength (Exported by the Aussies)

Hiya Tina & Damian
You have 6 months from when you finally enter to settle to transfer your money over. You can still wait & see how it goes.
It dose seam to be cyclick though, but don't know when the next up turn will be.
In the end of the day if you need the money then you will have to exchange no matter what the rate is.
Bye

Just a thought,
there was some discussion a while ago that you could leave 50K overseas and not have to declare it to the tax man.
I don't know if you could do this with converting Uk£ to A$
