    From reading posts here I think I'm gonna go with PayPay but not 100% sure how it works yet!!! Anyway, when would the best time for rates be? Does anyone see it changing relatively much over next couple weeks? Have opened account in Australia and want to transfer it soon!

    It is a pretty bad rate for euro -> Oz at the moment, despite what anyone claims, we do not know how this will go, if we did we would all be rich.

    Personally I think it will hover over the same rate for the next few months and Euro will gain slightly. But that is a pure guess

    yeah I cant see any change in the next few weeks. Unless you keep a fund in euro you may as well go for it now

    I'm going there in June and I have been watching the exchange rate closely for the past few months. It's pretty bad at the moment but this is a trend that has been ongoing for over a year. Just when you think it won't get any worse than it is it drops again. With the news this morning of the Euro under pressure from the Greek and Portuguese situations I think that it will probably drop further. I think I will have to bite the bullet myself and order my spending money now before it drops even further.
    Just my opinion.

    It was on the BBc last night the Euro is rallying on the back of a decision on Greece.
