Some other things that you might want to keep in mind.
-I suggest you change a little bit of money with the changers at the airport, that way you can have a look at it before you change on the street. Exchange 100AUS first that way its easy to work out. If you find a good money changer -stick with them, look for a reasonable rate NOT the lowest -be the last person to touch the money
Keep in mind when you haggle that the balinese people earn approx $100aus per month,some a,lot less, so the dollar you are haggling over isn't really worth it.
Take some Aussie trinkets for the local children , its great if you can give something to the drivers kids should you get a good one.
Have fun
