Before anyone fires up the flame throwers this is info only in case someone asks about these two topics . The Aus dollar today took a big hit and dropped around 4cents recovered to US$1.05 that being the case it would suggest near on parity . I don't think you would get anymore than 1 US$ for 1 AUS$ . that being the case whether you pay VOA in USD or AUD it will be roughly the same . Exchange rate for the IRP hazard a guess would drop to around low to mid 8000 to the $ .
