I have found the easiest way is taking Australian cash with you and remember to secure it in a room safe or safety deposit box at the hotel reception.
I took travellers cheques the first 3 times but soon realised that taking my passport with me to change the cheque and then taking the passport back to the room safe or the safety deposit box to be a pain in the ......

Have a great time !!!
