We travel to Brisbane yearly, and usually allow 4 days travelling time. That allows us to stay somewhere overnight each night, and have a look around at some places. We usually drive between 5-9 hours in a day. It's about 1600km or so distance.

sept is the best time to go up to cairns!
not too hot , SE have finished and no stingers! Hopefully the rain would have stopped by then as well as it is soo wet up there at the moment!
My nan lives at Clifton beach and love it there are its not to commercialised, half way between palm cove and cairns and the beach is beautiful.
there are heaps of apartments to stay in, there is the Novatel resort at Palm Cove which is great, but not sure of the prices
Definately a nice relaxing place to go, but no good if you are looking a doing heaps of things that amuse you and the kids. You have to drive to see things, and make the fun yourselves!
Kuranda by skyrail is beatiful and then come back by train.
Port Douglas is nice
Green Island for a day tour, or Fitzroy Island
there is the Pool in town at the espanlade for fun as well
The beaches are oh so beautiful and the scenery of the forrest meeting the sea is just breath taking!
Enjoy your trip!

V a girlfriend and I stayed in Palm Cove at the Novotel about 2 years ago it is in between Cairns proper and Port Douglas so you would need to hire a car but the accom was very nice, family friendly, a lot cheaper than some of the other options around.
Enjoy!
