I have recently came to Australia on a 3 month visa with my friend who is an Australian citizen and payed for my ticket here and with the understanding of her getting me a ticket back home and now the situation has changed with no means whatsoever of getting back to the Uk :-(
If there is no way anyone (friend, relative?) back in the UK can loan you the money then your only real option is to go to the UK embassy. Some consulates will offer emergency loans to stranded travellers or they will offer you advice. This website lists the locations and numbers of regional Consular offices for Australia: http://ukinaustralia.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals. You will need to contact the office which covers the area you are staying in.
If you are staying in Melbourne then this organisation may also be of some assistance:

Whatever you do, don't just leave it and let your visa run out. If you are deported, you will probably not be allowed back into the country ever again and may be denied visas from other countries in future.
