If you’re planning a trip abroad, you’ve no doubt noticed how weak the Aussie dollar is compared to many other major currencies at the moment.

Right now, it’s not a great time to be an Aussie in the UK ($1 AUD = 0.52 GBP), the United States ($1 AUD = 0.65 USD) or Europe ($1 AUD = 0.61 EUR).

But there are still places where Aussies can stretch their money further.

Sri Lanka

$1 AUD = 204.80 Sri Lankan rupees

Sri Lanka is another cheap and popular destination for Aussies. In Kandy, a local beer would cost you around 500Rs or $2.45, an inexpensive restaurant meal would also cost you 500Rs or $2.45, while a monthly public transport pass to explore the country is just 2,125Rs or just over $10.
