I am planning a trip from Newcastle to Darwin in the middle of September. It'll be me, my wife, our 4 kids (10,8,3 & 8 months) and a budgie ( dont ask).

We have planned to take 10-11 days for the trip. So keeping travel down to 4-500 kms a day.

Our plan at this stage is :
Day 1: newcastle - Yetman. We have family there to visit and its more or less on the way and makes for a good first day and planning a 2 night stop with family.
Day 3: yetman - roma.
Day 4: Roma - Blackall.
Day 5: Blackall- Longreach- Short drive and spend afternoon looking around
Day 6: Longreach - Kynuna
Day 7: Kynuna - Mt Isa
Day 8: Mt Isa - Barkley Homestead
Day 9: Barkley Homestead - brenner springs
Day 10: Brenner springs - Mataranka
Day 11: mataranka - Darwin

We have a camper trailer and plan on setting it up each night. With the 4 kids ( mainly due to the baby) weve decided to spend as short as possible time in the car each day. Just after some thoughts on the plan and possible ideas of places to make day stops for lunch to give the kids time out of the car and any sights along the way that are must stops.
