I use what I use at home. I figure that if I'm going to be mugged or pickpocketed anywhere in the world, it's going to be in one of the big cities such as Sydney. I take all the normal precautions where I live such as not flashing lots of cash around and making sure I have my wallet in a safe place...
I do exactly the same in Bali. At home, I wouldn't carry $1000 around with me unless I was off to purchase something specifically. In Bali, it's the same thing.
So my advice would be to use the same methods as you do at home. Wallet/purse closely guarded.
