The centre of Brisbane offers a unique combination of culture and lifestyle, you can catch some modern art at GOMA, be amazed by the Muttaburrasaurus dinosaur bones at the Queensland museum and follow this up with a swim at South Bank Streets Beach.
You may also be in the Brisbane CBD doing some last minute shopping; picking up a backpack for an overseas trip or perhaps ducking out of work to grab some foreign cash for a business trip. Before you hit the streets you are better off ordering your foreign cash online from Travelex and then picking up the cash at a Post Office branch near to where you live or work.
You will find that you can save a couple of percent on the exchange rate margin by pre-ordering your cash. Our Review of Auspost exchange rates includes the following table that shows you an example of how much you can save.
