Some friends of mine came over to Australia with travellers cheques in
Australian currency. These did not work so well as most banks are very
suspicious and charged $5 to cash them. Bank of Melbourne did not charge
any fee and were quite helpful, but the rest of the banks that we tried were
down right impossible.

I would suggest not bringing travellers cheques. ATM cards and Credit cards
should work fine.

We are travelling to Oz very shortly. We are seeking advice on the best
way
to take the cash there. We have debit cards, credit cards and money in
the
savings. Do we get travellers cheques? or take our cards??????

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
