Should we stay or should we go now?

I say drive up and have a fun adventure!!!

Yes I would go and would most probably drive. Is there a reason why you can't leave earlier ie a day or two? Just thinking that maybe an extra night there would be good for the kiddies (and you!) as you don't feel as rushed getting down there, staying for the night and then turning around and coming straight back?

Actually the more I think about it I would leave so that you have at least a couple of nights there. And it would be good for the kids to see their cousins.

it's a long drive.
we just drove down from nowra area (below Wollongong) to melbourne. it was one of those super hot days in early january too. took us a good 10 hours once you factor in all the toilet breaks etc. and you are totally exhausted by the end of it.
i would start looking at car hire/baby seat hire options if i were you.

I'd drive Friday night, stop halfway in a motel, then go the rest in the morning. Stay overnight up the in a cheap motel and do a day trip back with lots of stops.

i would do this (or peanutter's option!). i don't camp so it would have to be a motel or a cabin. but a cabin could be good fun with the kids.

if you decide to go, i'd be looking at it as a chance for you to get away as a family & have a little break & you just happen to be going to a family function as well. and think of things to make it fun for you guys. no, i have no idea what these things may be at the moment, but we have a couple of months to help you think of things
