Sending money home from Australia

Hi
My son is in Australia and needs to send money home to his uk bank account. He is charged by his bank in Australia and also by his bank in the uk. So to send home £250 he loses £17.
Can anyone suggest a cheaper method than a bank transfer.
Someone has suggested using PayPal - has anyone used PayPal for this and if so what costs were incurred?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
