Hi all. I'm taking my family to Bali for 3 weeks shortly. I've done plenty of travelling, but never to Indonesia. A couple of questions please:

What your the preferred way of taking money to Bali? In recent years I've generally relied on ATMs when travelling, but I hear there are some security issues with ATMs in Bali. Is it best to take cash + TCs with cards as back-up?

What is the Visa situation when travelling on a Kiwi or Aussie passport? Am I right in saying that you pay for a Visa on arrival? If so do you need to pay in US$? How much for a 21 day stay?

I've never used global roaming or similar. Does it work in Bali? Any tricks or tips?

Thanks in advance.
