bruno, the best route is the one you are going to enjoy. If you are after a quick trip, Broken Hill, Sydney, Kurri Kurri and up the New England. Scenic route, follow the coast

What's your attitude to unsealed roads?
How much time do you want to take?
What do you want to see/experience?

I suppose Bruno , it depends on what you want & want to see .

I would go > Mildura - Hay - West Wyalong - Coonabarabran - Goondiwindi - Millmerran - Toowoomba - Blackbutt - Kilcoy - Caboolture _ Mooloolaba.

Having worked out of Adelaide & did regular runs to BrisVegas , I found that the better way , over -

B/Hill , Cobar , Bourke , Moree , Warwick , Bris , Moo .or

B/Hill , Cobar , Nevertire , Warren , Gil , Coona , etc

I used LESS fuel , in a 100k speed limited Semi , it was also quicker.

When I went over to KI last June , I went -Coffs,Syd,W/Wagga,Hay,Moulamein,Ouyen,T/Bend,Strath,C/Jervis.

But came back-Adel-Pt Aug-Hawker-Orroroo-B/Hill-Nevertire-Coona Tamworth-Armidale Grafton.

ps 15yrs at that job in Adel . They called me "The Tourist"

I like Zoomtopz first suggestion. I just drove from Melbourne to the Sunshine coast. If you want to get into big city driving and freeways, from Goondiwindi, go to Warwick then the direct track to Brisbane via Ipswich Motorway, then join the Gold Coast Freeway, over the Gateway Bridge and freeway to Mooloolaba.  Just another suggestion to consider...
