We have done Brissy to Melb a couple of times, most recently last Christmas. It is definitely do-able but I would look at taking longer to do the trip and stopping more often. This time around we did 2 half days and then two longer days of driving which worked well. The two half days included stopping at places with lots to do and letting the kids have lots of activity (Coffs Harbour for one). With younger kids I'd probably avoid a full day of driving and take longer. There are so many nice places to stop and the trip can be part of the holiday instead of just a way of getting there.
