some things are cheaper to buy in Bali than to buy in Australia and bring with you (particulary with low luggage limits). e.g. toothbrushes, toothpaste, books, paper, pens etc all are very cheap in Bali. Even light blankets are really cheap there ($5) and greatly appreciated. I've also donated paint in the past, bought there obviously.
Great suggestion from Anada to try and contact them and see if there is anything in particular they need. Then consider if you should buy it here or there, depending on your budget.
