The exchange rate is the same in both countries, but it is best to be prepared so I recommend that you change the money in the US, its is then one less thing to worry about, and after a long flight it is the last thing that you want to have to deal with.

US for 2 resions.
1. Cheeper. If you buy the Aussie $ in australia, its like comming home to Australia and buying back the money. You will NOT get a discount because you are a foeigner (excuse spelling). Getting foeign money in that country is more expensive as it is a `Buy Back` rate.
2. Time is the Essence. You got to explore in Australia. There is nothing worse than waiting for money to be changed where you could be exploring the beautiful parts of Australia or any country for that matter. When you are traveling, time goes FAST! Im in Japan at the moment (im an Aussie) and the days go so quick as There is SOOOO much to do
That is EXACTLY the same in Australia no matter where you go.
Safe travels and sorry I dont know of good rates as I dont know any American exchange places
Happy travels

I suggest carrying USD and converting in Australia.
most banks in Australia will change US$$ for you over the counter.
In the US you may have to wait a few days for the AUD to arrive.
I also suggest just bringing your USA ATM card and Credit Card and using them in Australia.

Depending on where you bank, Using the ATM offers the best Exchange Rate!(All Banks Vary)

US to Austrailian.
Your money will go farther there. The australian dollar amounts just a little bit less than the US.

I don't think that it really matters where you convert it because the price would be the same..

Just use ATM machines, that should be your best rate.
