Opening Bank Account
Does anybody know if you can open a bank account before you go to Oz and start putting money in it ready for your arrival. I am heading to Oz next year and have been told that you can open a Commonwealth account which is Australian in London and was wondering if that was a possibility.

Cool Opening Bank Account
I wouldn't bother sending any money over to Oz just yet as the dollar is pretty strong and you'll only get about $2 to the pound. Best to stick it in a high interest acc. in UK and wait for things to change
