I don't see a problem with bringing along A$500 in cash on you. I mean, no one is going to mug you on the plane, and if they do they don't get far. It should get you through the first 2-3 days. Strongly recommend that you open your bank account and start transfers ASAP, preferably after you get your student card for the bank fee waiver.
I actually thought of bringing more than AUD500 cause im not sure about the rental deposit over there. Open bank account CoE also can rite? Because my enrolment date is on the 18 feb but im planning to touch down on Melbourne on the 10 to search for accomodation, i dun think my student card is ready.
