The best way I have found is to buy perth mint long call warrants (zauwba). They track the price of spot gold and are easily traded on the asx. They can be converted to perth mint depository gold ,either allocated or un allocated for an extra fee. You can also take physical delivery of the gold again at extra cost. It would be up to you to decide which is the most economical for you in a given circumstance. Remember if things go to hell in a handbasket you can request physical delivery anytime you like. It's a bit of an excersize to check all the costs aginst one another. good luck
