Even a few months ago you could wring about 20-25% extra from the conversion, compared to now.
If you had put $USD1000 into an AU bank account in 2001 and withdrew it today you'd end up with $USD1666, which is a 66% return in only 3 years...
If the AU account paid 5% interest (many online accounts here do) then you would have over $USD1900 when you converted it back.
