I check mo kung san mas malaki nag palit kung sa pinas ba or sa australia.
What we did:
* We bring peso and Australian dollar
a. nagdala kami peso pang gastos sa airport at pag babalik kami ng pinas, may peso kaming magagamit.
b. Nag papalit kami sa money changer sa pinas pag maganda ang palitan.
- hindi kasi namin alam kung anoang exchange rate dito s aaustralia that time.
c. Nag open ako citibank account at nag despoit ako ng USD dollar. ( I can use this worldwide if mag travel ka)
- accessible ang citibank worldwide sa citiban kaTM nila without extra charges. Exhcange rate lang nila on that day na take out mo money mo ang concern kng mataas or mababa
- gagamitin k lang yung citibank account/card for emergency purposes.

I dont see any reason bkit hindi pwede ka maka punta kahit san sa Australia
Since may visa ka na to enter Australia (kahit san) unless may special restriction attach to your visa.
You can always go to syndey or kahit san pag may mga special promo ng airlines.
