-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.9

We work in 6 currencies (GBP/EURO/USD/AUD/NZD/CAD) and just as I have got the taxes working based on the customers billing address I need to know how I change the currency as well. I was hoping this would work with the GEOIPLOCATION stuff but I can't see how to do it.

Please Advise.

Hi,
You'll probably find your answer by reading the documentation :

Set currency : When that option is activated, the system will choose automatically the currency of the user based on the zone of the user and the currency option of the zones that you can manage via the menu System->Zones.

I have set up payment zones in the same way that I did for the taxes.

However it is not working.. Do I have to do anything in the product pages?

Did you setup the geolocation plugin options ?
Note that the geolocation plugin will set the current currency only when the customer first arrives on the website based on his IP address and the "set currency" option of the zone of his IP.
So if you want to test that it works, you need to try after clearing your browser cache/cookies for the website or more simply with another browser and to test other countries than yours, you'll want to configure a proxy in a different country in your browser.
Or more simply use an online proxy system like www.hidemyass.com/ which allows you to test as a UK, USA and NL customer.
