Understanding the pair
In GBP/AUD the British Pound is the base currency and the Australian Dollar is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many AUD one GBP buys, so a rising GBP/AUD means the British Pound is strengthening against the Australian Dollar.
GBP/AUD is a minor (cross) pair: it combines two major currencies without the US dollar, so its rate is effectively the product of two dollar pairs and spreads are typically a little wider than the majors. In practice its price moves with GBP/USD and USD/AUD (or their inverses).
Prices are quoted to 5 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 GBP a one-pip move is worth 10 AUD — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Liquidity in GBP/AUD is usually deepest when both home markets are open — the London (08:00–17:00 London time) and Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) sessions. See live session times on the market hours clock.
Sterling is among the most traded currencies, and London is the largest foreign-exchange trading centre. Bank of England rate decisions and UK inflation data are key event risks.

Often treated as a commodity and China-sensitive currency because Australia is a large exporter of iron ore, coal and LNG. It tends to be sensitive to global growth and risk sentiment.
Central bank: Reserve Bank of Australia
GBP/AUD shows how many Australian Dollar (AUD) one British Pound (GBP) buys. GBP is the base currency and AUD is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the British Pound has strengthened against the Australian Dollar.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in GBP/AUD is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in AUD. On a standard lot of 100,000 GBP, a one-pip move is worth 10 AUD. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Liquidity is typically deepest when both home markets are open: the London (08:00–17:00 London time) and Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) sessions, and especially where they overlap.
