6 weeks is good.
Can I suggest an option to give you a bit of everything:
Melbourne to
Coober Pedy, Anne Beadell Hwy (see bomb sites at Emu, and enjoy the isolation, unique vegetation and great desert camping of the GVD).
Restock and pub at
Laverton.
Head north along Great Central Rd, then turn left and take the Hunt Oil Rd to the Gunbarrell. Turn left and head off via
Carnegie to
Wiluna (restock).
Take the Canning up to Talawana track and turn left, and do Karajini (via
Newman - restock) then
Millstream- Chichester, then
Port Hedland (restock) then
Marble Bar, then
Nullagine,
Running Waters,
Carawine Gorge, Telfer
Mine Road, and down into Rudell River NP, Talawana track and rejoin the Canning.
If running out of time, take the
Gary Junction Rd to
Alice Springs and
home. If sufficient time, take the rest of the Canning and out via Tanami.
This will keep you
well occupied for the 6 weeks, and assumes you enjoy the driving. We did most of the above in 6 weeks in 2007.
