We'll be heading off in August / Sept, heading anti-clockwise from Brisbane and hoping to avoid too much wet weather at the top end next summer. We've got our route pretty much planned out, though there's still room for extra stops for anything interesting. We expect to take about 8 months on the trip, then we're off to the UK for a wedding in July before heading back here and starting again (again).
So if anyone has any good ideas of places to visit that we might not have listed already, all suggestions are welcome.

NT: Alice Springs -> Darwin (& Kakadu) -> Broome
WA: Broome -> Perth -> Kalgoorlie -> Adelaide
SA: Adelaide -> Coober Pedy (NT) -> Broken Hill (NSW) -> Mildura
VIC: Mildura -> Bendigo -> Mt Gambier (SA) -> Melbourne -> Wagga Wagga
NSW: Wagga -> Canberra (ACT) -> Wollongong -> Sydney -> Dubbo -> Newcastle -> Port Mcquarie -> Tamworth -> Coffs Harbour then back home up the east coast from there.
Like I said, this is abridged, there are lots of detours and stop-offs but you get the idea.

I've got a mate who used to live in Wangaratta so we'll be heading that way anyway - a bit of a pilgrimage
