Oh, and for anyone thinking that this could easily be solved with wire transfer, here's what happened three years ago when I tried an international wire transfer with paxum...
Over two months and Paxum kept a hold of almost $7k. I gave up in the end and just withdrew it all via card. Losing about 5% in the process because of the bank rates.

See above for why I won't do a wire transfer again. I actually just checked, Paxum will give me $1.31 AUD for every USD, TransferWise gives me $1.35. That's an extra 40 bucks every $1,000., plus Paxum charge a flat $50 USD wire fee (and take 2-3 months to actually sort their shit out).
EFT: that's exactly what I'm using: TransferWise is just a great way to open up a USD bank account and offers instant, low-fee local currency withdrawal.
Instant credit card load doesn't work with Australian cards. I tried four different ones.
