Exchanging Aussie dollars to cash in Bali is not a problem (to a degree) There are many untrustworthy "money changers", but if you let us know what hotel you are at, posters will let you know of someone reliable nearby. The best places to go to are the "wartels" which are as safe as banks to exchange at. We have also used the Atm's for years now without problem. Perhaps exchange your money at the hotel for the first few times until you are re-adjusted to the currency. Yes, you will get a slightly lower rate than in the street, but you wont have the hassle of possibly being ripped off.
