I really don't understand all the comments about it being quicker to pay in US$ rather than AUD$. I've paid in Aussie dollars ever since the VOA came in and it's always been as quick a transaction as anyone else in line. I hand over my AUD$50 note and get some change in rupiah - which has always been sitting in pre-prepared bundles so they don't even need to gather it from a change drawer. I doubt it'd be any quicker if everyone handed over US bank notes.
It's the immigration desk that takes the longest time, not the VOA counter.
