forex rates

so i've just been bludging around again, and realised that the AUD vs the GBP right now is pretty good - in fact it's in almost the best shape it's ever been, for us to be buying GBP.

Hopefully for the 12-18 months we're away, it will decrease again. I doubt it'll get back to the 2.5:1 it was, but still.

currently, 1 AUD will buy 0.578 GBP.
and 1GBP will buy 1.729 AUD
