We've got a joint bank account with my old man. They stick money in at their end and we draw it out here.

The above option seems very good. Another way to do it is here: www.tranzfers.com

Safe, reliable and about as cheap as this method gets.

That may be a good option for some but i haven't got a joint account with my mother and brother!

Can you use tranzfers to go from uk to oz? I've used it to send money to the uk before but never the other way round

I use it to get my UK income over here (Oz), every month.

I've used it in both directions for years, usually quicker moving money south (maybe cos its downhill ) - often overnight for me, whereas going north takes 3 days.
