If you are going to try and see a lot of Australia in one car, then the basic question is do you want to cross the Nullabor? If not, your basic pattern is an arc up north. If so, it can be a circle.
If you are searching the net for help on this, as well as the normal tourist and backpacker sites, search for "grey nomads". That's the slang for retirees who pack up and spend months travelling around Australia. There are websites with recommended routes, stopping sites, travel times. You may not want to take as long as they do, but some of the info should still be useful.

The basic plan is a big loop with Uluru somehow. I am also going to fly to Lord Howe Island.

Gary, stop thinking and get out there. I do love Melbourne. My sister Amy (you remember, the one who opened b.bottles with her teeth, though she's moved beyond that now) live there for several years & i spent some time visiting her. Be sure to see the penguins at Phillips Island. The cemetery is interesting - odd area dedicated to Elvis Presley, really. Hire a driver for the day and do a Yarra valley wine tour. Ocean road is lovely. Get out there, do it. Rent a car to see Ocean road. Have a great time.
