2) how do they pay winnings(ok to dream) - will they wire to my bank here and what details will I need? Iban/swift etc?
3) As Aussies do we pay tax on winnings?

DISCLAIMER: Most of this information is based on the 2010 PCA, however, it is highly unlikely to change in 2011.
1. The best way to buy-in to any side event is using your PokerStars account. A large registration area will be open in the main poker room to do so.
Foreign exchange will also be available, but as Nauv said, best not to carry large amounts of cash if possible. You should also be able to set up an account with Atlantis and wire money to their casino cage.
2. I believe you can get small payouts in cash/chips, but most winnings will be deposited into your PokerStars account. All details will be available at the Registration desk.
Wires may be available. Typically for an international wire you need bank name, account name, account number, IBAN, swift code.
3. I'm fairly certain no money is withheld, but I'll find out for sure and post here again with the answer.
