Perhaps 95.5 cents is a good time to buy some more USD to spend.
With Japan selling $USD down, USA buying up more junk debt, and the hot money punting on an interest rate rise, and before the sharemarket has black October memories, things could get worse.

Found this website
USD to AUD

The ACCC should also take a good hard look - easier to spot collusive practices.
Even with the aussie charging UP, only rotten deals were offered, no divergence.
Bankwest sells a bit of forex at acceptable rates, if you a customer.

Dont know where the other links are, but some hole in the wall forex places along George St Sydney, close to Chinatown, do a lot better than bankwest.
My backpacker notice on the wall kept getting pulled off. I dont have the brass to loiter at a 'good' hotel desk - but direct P2P is always a win-win.

St George makes sure it is .002 more than the rest - who even at near 96 cents
appear to collude on a narrow band indeed. Oh and they all charge $8 or 1% on TOP of that rate, except TravelEx, If you flash your YHA card - but they are a cent more expensive anyway.
