Tip for good exchange rates on buying foreign currency for your trip.
Been there, done that, best exchange rate I have found over the years is with Travelex.

If you front up to their desk at short notice, you get a discount on their fee with your senior card. Hmm, nice to know.
Better still, buy online... No fees., They charge if you use a credit or debit card..... so pay by using BPAY.
What happens is..........
Pay online with your credit card and your foreign notes turn up in a few days at your designated place, but there is a surcharge on the transaction
Or
Pay online with BPAY and wait about 7 days for your cash, but there is no surcharge .....
BTW... These are the best days of our lives...
