My vote is added to what craigandej says. The route down the
New England Hwy, via
Tamworth, to Gilgandra would be the one if you're living South of
Brisbane - but the Newell Hwy route, via
Toowoomba, Moree and Gilgandra is probably easier if you're living West or North of
Brisbane.
The highway from Gilgandra to Pt
Augusta is excellent, and the Stuart Highway North of Pt
Augusta is one of the best roads in Australia.
Make sure you stop regularly, and don't become too tired or caught up sorting out fighting kids.
Be aware that driver sleepiness is a big killer, and it strikes early in the morning, at your normal bedtime - and particularly in the early afternoon, after having consumed some types of food (chicken and cheese are notorious for causing sleepiness after lunch).
Good luck with the drive and the new job!
Cheers, Ron.
