Also visit
http://www.greyhound.com.au/
and http://www.ozexperience.com/

Cheapest backpacker spot probably at Airlie Beach (the Whitsundays) see http://www.reeforesort.com/ most expensive probably Sydney?

Lonely Planet probably worth a read http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinat...sia/australia/

and this is the link to info on the Working Holiday Visa http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/temp_whm.htm

typical East Coast stops are Sydney, Byron Bay, Surfers Paradise, Noosa, Hervey Bay for Fraser Island, Airlie Beach (Whitsunday Islands), Magnetic Island (off Townsville), Mission Beach, Cairns and Cape Tribulation.

TreeHouse Mission Beach probably one of the most interesting hostels, Byron Bay probably the easiest place to 'relax into'.
