Mike,
I'd echo MH's warning about your January return trip.
January weather would be, on average, extreme, or what I call "furnace weather". Even a minor
breakdown would be very discomforting for your "little travellers", and I'm sure their parents too.
What about a return down through central Qld, NSW, then across to
Broken Hill,
Port Augusta and then onto the Nullarbor. Lot more traffic, and more frequent roadhouses etc.
Just
check Weatherzone, for maximum temps in January, for
Camooweal, Mt Isa and
Phosphate Hill. Nearly need to turn on the aircon, after reading them.
Safe trip, whatever you decide.
Bob.
