This may help, just change Garuda to Virgin. It would probably be safer for him to queue, notice a family with little kids, maybe strike up a conversation, just follow them. Or see some other young guys and follow them.
Bali to Perth:-
Show your ticket to man and go through x-ray, bags on conveyor, bits and bobs in basket. Collect all your stuff and go queue at Garuda economy counter. Put suitcase on weighing scale and keep hand luggage. Hand over passport and ticket. Get passport and boarding pass back. This will show your seat number and gate number to queue at for plane.
Go to escalators and go up, pay your departure tax 150,000 rupiah and get receipt. Queue at immigration, hand over passport, departure tax receipt and boarding pass. Collect everything back off him and walk on through to departure lounge.
You may get asked by an official looking person here about departure lounges, check with them if your boarding gate is close to their lounge. They will say a price and you say I have only 100,000 rupiah. They will take you to their lounge, ask where is your gate from here. If you think it is close enough then pay the money and go in. Look out for gate numbers so that you know where to go back to.
If you don't get asked:-
Check where your boarding gate is. Then ask for Prada lounge (downstairs) or Dewi lounge (same floor looking out to runway), find out which one is closest to your departure gate. Pay 100,000 rupiah to get into the one closest to your gate. You can ask anyone that looks official or someone in a shop or another passenger. You can then sit in this lounge, free food, drink, internet and shower until your flight is called, they should tell you when you should go but keep an eye on the time in case they forget.
Once your flight is called go to the gate, you may have to queue again. Show your passport and boarding pass. Go through more x-rays, they will take any drinks off you here, even water. Wait in this last departure lounge until called to board your flight, you cannot buy anything or get drinks in here
