Hi there jamiz,
Withdrawals around the world can only be done in local currency of the PayPal account unless a US bank account is attached to the PayPal account. That is your only way around withdrawing the funds in Australian Dollars. All accounts around the world can add and withdraw to a US bank account as we are a US company.
Unless you have a bank account registered in the US added to your Australian PayPal account you would have to withdraw in Australian Dollars I'm afraid.
I hope this information helps you Wayne
