If I buy steam gift card from the USA for a friend in Australia. Will they be able to buy games?

[Comfy]

My friends birthday is coming up. Was going to buy him a steam gift card for his steam wallet. I live in the USA and he lives in Australia. I looked and they don't offer gift cards in australia. But if I buy him a USA gift card and give him the redeem code. Will it work and let him buy games with it?

Thanks

I sent a card to Russian friend in Russia, he redeemed and it works fine. The currency conversion worked fine, the conversion wasn't favorable, but good enough.

They do sell Steam Gift Cards in Australia by the way. You can get them at EB Games.

The conversion was not favorable? Can you explain what happened? The USD is much stronger than the RUB, so the conversion should be VERY favorable for your Russian friend. I'm not sure i understand what you mean though.

Right now, 1 USD is about 40 RUB. So, if you gift a $20 USD gift card, it should add about 800 RUB to your Russian friend's account... Or did it add only 20 RUB? xD If yes, then it's criminal from Valve!

In the off-chance that the card doesn't work (which I am certain it does), you could always redeem the money on your own account and gift him a game of any choice as a last resort, couldn't you?

What I meant was that the conversion was a few rubles off from what was expected from popular currency conversion website. It is off in the negative direction, meaning my friend got less rubles than expected.
