Also be aware that airports in this country are a really bad place to buy things and an even worse place to exchange money. Do it elsewhere.
You credit cards will be accepted pretty much anywhere (Visa & Monstercard)
American Express & Diner's, however will severely limit your options and will pretty much guarantee an additional surcharge.
It would be a good idea to have $100 Australian on you before you get to the airport.
Incidentally, Australia is different to the US in as much as nobody tips anyone, it just isn't done, and it certainly isn't ever expected. Think of it as if the tip was already included in the cost of the service already, so you don't need to tip twice. The one time you might tip is if you had a meal at a restaurant that was so exceptional as to greatly exceed your expectations....
You get the point.
