Where will you put your money...
the scenario is,
house sold, in rented accomodation, all debts paid, awaiting the visas to arrive, flights are 2 months away, where do you put your money for best return and transferability if you are in oz when the best rate of exchange comes up?
answers on a postcard to...........LOL

Re: Where will you put your money...
If you haven't used up your cash ISA allowance yet you may as well open one of those and get the interest on £3000 tax free. For the remainder take a look at www.moneysupermarket.com and see who's got the best rates (and if it's only a short term account then see who offers an introductory rate to bump it up).

Personally I'd keep your current account open when you move and nominate it as your 'linked account' - ie account where funds will be transferred into.
When you make a withdrawal your money goes into there and you can transfer it to Oz using whatever means you want (currency broker, bank etc).
