I have never been here when it was so low against the pound. When I entered it was around 1.45

Re: Exchange rate AUD Vs GBP £1 buys $1.83
It's extraordinary how oblivious your average Aussie is to this 'benign collapse' in their currency.
Yes, the AUD has been overvalued for several years, yes the falling oil price helps to insulate from inflation, but for a currency to lose 30-odd percent of its value in such a short space of time would normally be an extremely worrying sign (cue 'Pound in your pocket' and 'Crisis, what crisis?' headlines in a grown-up country like the UK).
I get the impression that most Ockers are just happy to keep watching The Block, discussing 'major political issues' which would barely rate a mention in most British parish newsletters, and know that their beloved house prices have ticked up another couple of percent (in Aussie toilet-paper dollars, that is!).
