Like asaris said, the schools should provide you with this information. It's probably on their graduate admissions web page somewhere, but if you can't find it, contact their graduate coordinator and ask.
As I understand it, all domestic students (at least in Australia, the UK, Canada, and the USA, which is where I've looked) have their fees waived. In addition to the fellowships (which are generally just for the best), there are usually scholarships available for domestic students, usually comprising an adequate living stipend and often further allowances for travel and materials. To speak for myself, I will be commencing a computer science PhD in Australia next year, and my supervisor and my school will cover most, if not all, of my research expenses. Admittedly, these will not be large; at most, a small bit of computer hardware every now and again. If you're after time on a particle accelerator or volumes of liquid helium, you may have a bit more trouble, but you will probably still not be expected to foot the bill (if the equipment is essential to your research).
In short:
-It's extremely unlikely that you'll pay any university fees
-It's likely you'll be eleigible for a living stipend. Talk to the colleges you're applying to to find out more about the application procedures for these stipends.
-This stipend may or may not cover travel expenses. Talk to your college about where that money comes from.
-This stipend may or may not require you to work for your college. In Australia, our stipends don't require us to do any work, but we can do up to 8 hours of tutoring or lab demonstration a week to pick up some extra cash. Senior postgraduate students sometimes lecture some of less popular units.
