Apart from using my Citibank Plus card overseas for cash-out, plan to get some GBP before departure.
Found Travelex rate better than Commbank, AusPost, and Bankwest.

Has anybody placed an order and collected it on departure day at airport store? Any con/alternative?

  I worked for Travelex (BNE) for a long time.

  There's no con. Just don't forget to pick it up. You'd be surprised how many people would leave 2-3k of travel money lying in our store…

  Check the rates compared to others in your location. I found that one of the foreign change shops near me did a better rate than travelex were offering online and I didn't have to wait for it or remember to pick it up at the airport
