The A$ is certaily not pegged to the US$. When I visited the States in 2001, we got US$0.52 for our dollar, yet it is now "worth" US$68.
The Australian dollar really increased in value by 13,077% relative to the US dollar in the past two years? Wow!
No wonder we found it expensive!
Should be a _lot_ better now . . .
