Work out your accommodation and add food for each day. now that depends how you want to eat whether it be food from the supermarkets and places like mcdonalds or up market restaurants. Then your transport or hire car what ever you do to get around. This is such a hard question as not sure how you wish to do things.How much spending money should my husband and I take to Australia for 2 weeks?
Australia is very easy to travel in. Most things work like here. Credit Cards can be used all places. Renting a car is very easy (make sure to drive on the other side). Getting currency exchange is very easy - just go to the bank - they give you current rates.
When I traveled Australia - I used credit card for all major expenses, and occasional high end meals. This includes Hotels, Rental Cars, Internal air fairs, some meals etc. For us Scuba Diving was large expense - paid with credit cards. Don't take Debit Cards - they are limited. Travelers Checks still works.
So how much cash you need to take - I would say between $1000 no more than $1500. With Credit Card and that cash you should be able to manage your expenses. If you feel insecure with that much cash - convert them to Travelers Checks. AAA offers them free for their members.
My wife and I traveled with about $2000 for 3 1/2 weeks in Australia.
Don't take very much with you. Take your ATM card and take out whatever you need for the things you want to do.
