I'm dumb - does this mean it is better to change $AU to £ or £ to $AU?

Re: Sterling just dropped through the 2:1 barrier
However, historically speaking, sterling is seriously down in the dumps compared with the Aussie $. Funnily enough, sterling is significantly up against the US$ over the last few weeks (so either Gordon and co are doing OK or Obama is doing very badly), but that increase is less than the strengthening of the A$ over the US$ so sterling has weakened against the A$.
