Driving my 'new' AWD van from Cairns to Melbourne, my 8 y.o. is coming with me. Explore Oz (and Google maps), give me 2 suggestions:

1. From Cairns inland on the 63 to Hughenden, then from Barcaldine all the way on the 71/75 to Melbourne. 2800 km.

2. From Cairns along the coast till Rockhampton, then inland over Mt Morgan, via the A5 / 39 to Melbourne. Total 3067 km

Nr. 2 seems more attractive, if anyone can throw in any suggestions/modifications to this route I'd appreciate it!

Note this is supposed to be a 'short' 5-6 day trip, scenic is good, adding another 1000km to the trip to make it more scenic is not - that's for later in the year...

Thank you!
