Day trip on the boat? Are you sure? It is much easier with kids to go overnight and be in the cabin. I have done the night trip and been very happy with it. Two separate lots of friends with kids did the day trip one way and then changed their booking to go overnight on the return.
Anyway back to the road trip. I assume you are travelling the Hume. Pretty good drive really. Lots of toilet stops. As for food, we normally stop about an hour of of Melbourne, I think it is Seymour and a Mobil station/roadhouse. We normally stop for fuel there and their steak sanga is not bad. Just can be very busy in the holiday period. After that, unless you pull over in small towns, there are the Macca's and BP at Glenrowan. Also can be quite busy, so look at drive through and pulling over at the next rest stop. For the return trip the next truck stop is quite good and has a bit of a nature walk if you need to stretch legs. After Glen rowan you next stop would be Albury/Wodonga unless you take the bypass. About 45 minutes past Albury is Holbrook (the town with the Submarine). The bakery there is pretty good, have eaten there a fair bit as we often visit DH's family there.
Have fun!
