I made a little script a few years ago which scrapes Westpac's forex rates once per day and puts them in a nice graph with some short and long term averaging, plus a table showing rates for the last 30 days.

I set it as my browser's home page.

About 2 years ago they changed their template and it's been broken since, stuck on 24th November 2008. So every time I load a new window I get teased with the rate on that date, which was:

0.6218 !!!!

$USD1k back then was worth $AUD1608... now it's worth about $1010.
