12vic,
Yes, I was thinking in same way as you and hence bought some yesterday although I hold stock on OZ market . SD abolished in OZ in July 2001 but I still thought it would be charged here - nice surprise!
Both ŁA and sterling weaker against $US in recent weeks but sterling sufferec most so pound weaker against $A on the crosses . I agree with you that that may continue for a short while and marginally benefits Uk price for BGF .
Thanks for suggesting that site . I will check it out and recall it when I wasa last in W.A . I lived in OZ for most of my life .
My pet hate in Uk is MMs and their spreads . Should be made obsolete and no Mms down under! Much easier to trade a stock and make a few dollars - only need a cent or so movement whereas here the Mm spread can be 2.5 cents or so !!
