Most of Australia is closer to the equator than most of the USA. Which country are you in? Finland? South Africa? Japan?
The force of gravity is about 0.5% more at the poles than at the equator. As you get closer to the equator, your weight gets a bit less. For the average in Australia compared with the average in the USA, I would say the girl would be about 0.05% lighter, or 0.25 N ( about 25 grams).

Look here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_gravity
There it tells you how stron gravity is at different locations.
Then calculating the answer is simple
500N / (strengthn of gravity in this country) * (strength of gravity in australia)

The weight would be the same. There may be a very slight difference, but not noticeable.

hahahahahahahahaha
the force of gravity is a constant everywhere on earth

Congratulations! You get the 1st prize for the most stupid question of the month (maybe of the whole year.)
