We've always taken cash, the first 2 years got a certain amount of rp at a Money Exchanger in Melbourne, the balance in $AUD. This year we had a bit of rp and changed our $AUD at a Kodak money changer as advised on this forum. The rate was certainly better. We keep this in the room safe or the safety deposit boxes in hotels. We have always done this in other countries as well with no hassles. However as someone pointed out (can only remember it ended with kkkk) insurance policies don't cover you unless it is on your person and then ours only covers us for $AUD250 per person. I've still got the policy and checked it. That is with CHI underwritten by Alliance. I don't think it will change what we do though.
