Another vote for the 6" Dobsonian. An average 5 year old will be able to use this scope easily, in a natural stance as opposed to needing to stand on milk crates etc, and you will be able to use it comfortably seated in an outdoor chair.
I recommend the Sky Watcher brand as maintaining a known quality, and suggest that since My Astro Shop is based in Hervey Bay and therefore the closest distributor to Cairns, a purchase from them may save you a few bucks in freight. (do check out the freight costs, some distributors charge a lot more than others)
