    DON'T wait til you get there.

    KVB in Sydney in Melbourne appears to have the best rates.
    Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

    Try the Amex Foreign Exchange located in the Westpac bank on the corner of Bolton and Hunter streets. They like you to pre order so they have enough Yen on hand.
    Remember "cash is king" in Japan. Even if you can find a machine that will accept your card you might have a bit of trouble reading the Japanese writing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    What Tobi said.

    The only real machines that work with Aussie cards are the one at 7/11 (and only 7/11) but they have a low upper limit for withdrawls or the post office which are much more generous with maximum limits but are locked up at about 7pm (not sure when that is for sure)
