Backpacker hostels might be the way...not as dire as you might think. Bed and breakfast places can be quite cheap. Ozstays has some good pricecs especially just now.

Cheers

Awright Maigret!

I can recommend Gecko's Hostel for the Cairns part of the trip, nice & clean (well it was 4 years ago anyway!)

By the way, if they go out to the Reef from Cairns they have to go with these people:

Quick Beds is not bad for accommodation either:
