If you are a PayPal member, you can pay that way (or at least you could, not
sure about now), cheaper than most of the conversion sources around.
Other than that, I was getting a good deal at the local NAB, where they were
only charging me the actual exchange rate without any other fees, last time
however they wanted to charge me a fee to do this.
Check any co-workers/co-students who may have been to the US in recent
times, this has worked a few times for me as well.
