Need Aussie assistance here, as google is not being my friend. I am stuck in Switzerland, and feeling pretty helpless.
Due to a cock-up by his bank, my son (who started at Melbourne Uni last week) has not yet got his ATM card. He has hundreds in the bank. However, due to a cock-up by himself, he now has $4 at his disposal, and has had since yesterday. This was all not too dreadful until he realised that tomorrow is a state holiday in Victoria.
Two questions: 1) presumably banks are closed on state holidays? And 2) He has a 20-pound note and a 50-franc note. I told him to go down to an FX kiosk and change one or both, but he's worried that they might be closed too - and his $4 would only get him downtown (a two hour walk back home if they are closed). It's apparently 36 degrees, so I can see why this wouldn't appeal.
Does anyone know if things like FX bureaux are likely to be open?
