If funds are short you are allowed to enter the UK on an Australian passport provided you're only going to be a tourist and you don't mind queuing up. Although this rule could always change.

, when we came back in with ours in April the queue still took nearly 30mins to clear....And thats only the first queue, you've then got the wait for your luggage queue, and then the worst one of the lot (took us over an hour) to get through customs and have you bags scanned. Oh and dont even think about not leaving a car at the airport and being able to get a taxi, that'll be about another hour on average...
You can almost spend as long getting home from when you touch down as it takes to get from Singapore to Perth...

Swedish citizens have only recently been allowed to keep their citizenship/passport upon becoming Australian, the rules there changed on 1 July 2001.
