If you're staying in comfortable hotels and eating out regularly, you'll need between A$100 and A$180 per day depending on where you are visiting (cities tend to be much more expensive).

The Australian Dollar comes in the following denominations:
$5, $10, $20, $50 and $100

Did you know? Australian coins feature images of the only two mammals in the world to lay eggs – the platypus and the echidna.
No worries! We’ll buy back any Australian dollars you have left quickly and easily at great rates!
