If you pay in AUS$ they usually short change you. Don't change any money at Australian airport, they charge huge commissions. Wait until you get to Bali, there is a money exchange at the airport, no commission and good rate. Later use the Kodak shops but still beware. Use your own calculator to work out how much you get, not theirs as they are sometimes rigged. Make sure you get 100,000R notes and none are substituted with 10,000R notes. Easiest to change $100 at a time so you know exactly how much Rup you should be getting. Have a great time, I will be there too on Monday week.
