Just thought I would update this thread as I will soon be entering Argentina. I checked out the Aussie travellers government website and found this segment, so it is not as bad as it seems yet.
"From 28 December 2009, Australian tourists will be charged a “reciprocity fee” of USD100 on arrival at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires. At present the fee will only be collected at Ezeiza International Airport, however it will be extended to other international points of entry at a later date (still to be advised). There is no change in visa requirements for Australian citizens. Payments are made prior to clearing immigration controls and can be made by cash (Argentine pesos or US dollars), credit card or travellers’ cheques."
I will let you know if I get charged in a week or so
Cheers from Bolivia
