With the drop in the British Pound, there are some bargains to be had on 365games.co.uk.
This is the same store as ozgameshop.com.au and their GBP pricing is now roughly 20% less on the UK site using Google exchange rates.
Note that the Ozgameshop AUD pricing is typically among the cheapest on the boardgamesearch.com.au comparison site.

Great site
Edit:clarity
So we absolutely love Carcassonne and recently acquired Catan. What should we buy next? Looking for something that is family friendly for 2-4 players minimum. 8+ years suitable.
Camel Up, Ticket to Ride, Colt Express, The Castles of Burgundy, Alhambra, 7 Wonders, New York 1901, Power Grid, Istanbul, Splendor. That will keep you busy for a while :)
I second Ticket to Ride. Get the euro edition, jokes to be had!
Tokaido is also a quirky japanese themed game. Easy to learn, hard to master.
edit - looks like Tokaido is sold out.
Latice. My new fav is Dragonwood. So fun. Mensa select game too
Big thumbs up for Splendor!!! It's a pretty crappy name, but it's one of the best boardgames we've played for years :) Easy to learn, quick to set up, about 1/2 hour to play, and easy pack up (or start another game as we've found). Our 7 and 10 year old are both very good at it, yet the strategies involved keep the adults coming back too :)
Just recently acquired Splendor. Highly recommended from a boardgame noob too! :)
Patchwork is a great two player game.
Lanterns is a good family-friendly tile-laying game.
Thank you. I like the look of the Lanterns game.
paypal hasn't dropped rates as yet.. Pandemic is $51.54 AUD if buying right now. Ozgameshop has it for $54
Should never be using PayPal currency conversion, pretty awful and incurs a profit for then. Pay in pounds using your 28 degrees card (or equivalent), still using PayPal or direct with the card.
If you are in the hobby already, $51au for Mombasa is really cheap. Please no one buy it as their early step into modern strategy board gaming. Still not a heavy game on food chain magnate or gallerist level, but still.
And very smooth to play, but crunchy decisions.
A bit less heavy, but still my 3rd or so favourite game is also well priced. Five Tribes comes in about $57au and would definitely recommend at that price. I think it makes a great step up into what I say are middle weight games (or at least above the middle-light such as TtR and Carcassonne, which I also love)
Great price at $57!
Ticket to tide Europe is coming up around $50 aud too.
Apparently it no longer includes Britain? Can someone confirm?
Take at least 2 years for the changes to be made ;)
My last order with 365games was pre-ordering Test Drive Unlimited 2 on Xbox 360 back in 2010 :D
+1 for a great game (Mysterium) at a good price
These are pretty cheap as normally their around $70+. If I had to pick between Catan, Ticket to ride or 7 wonders which should i buy?
Have you played any modern board games before, will you normally be playing 2 player or more, and if more than 2 do you think the others will have an interest to play more than once?
2 player - get TtR, i'd suggest Europe as the starting point. Lets you play 5, but the 2 player game is still fun, plus can buy the india map expansion if you love it.
If you feel you'll get a long term group going, get 7 wonders. Amazing game and best with 4/5 I think. But the ability to play 7 is useful, although i'm not in love with the 2 player variant.
Catan wise i've played it minimal times, but I feel its not on most peoples radar any more.
Excellent site for boardgames
