I found a route planner, and a couple of websites, so maybe some of these would be helpful...

I know it's not much, but hopefully, this will give you some ideas.
Try the route planner first, and then you check out the various things to see in the areas that you'll be going through.

Congratulation on you upcoming marriage !

Congrats on the upcoming wedding! The drive from Melbourne to Perth is quite an adventure, and there are a lot of options. First, do you have several weeks or is this a rush trip? Remember, it is just about as far from Melbourne to Perth as from Jacksonville to San Diego. Allow at least five full days of driving time each way. Second, there is a better way... Drive from Melbourne to Adelaide by way of the coast. Allow a couple days. Overnight at Nelson, make sure you take the river boat up the Glenelg river to the caves. Allow at least one day in Nelson for this side trip. When you get to Adelaide, take the train to Perth. They will load your car on the train, and you can enjoy the scenery without the hazards of the drive across the Nullarbor plains. On arrival in Perth enjoy the city, then take the side trip north to Broome. allow a couple days in Broome to enjoy the beaches, the zoo, and to recover from the first 10 days of the trip.
Then, you are faced with another choice. You can be super adventuresome, and go cross county on dirt tracks back through Alice Springs (allow a week, take plenty of water and survival gear, and a four wheel drive vehicle), then back to Melbourne via AAdelaide, north to Burra and Broken Hill, then over to Wagga Wagga, then south to Melbourne. All told, you should allow at
least a month for this total trip. I have done the train from Adelaide to Perth. It is one of the great trains of the world.
If you only have a couple weeks, Drive direct from Melbourne to Adelaide (one day) take the train to Perth (three days) spend a week at the beach there, then fly back to Melbourne. The biggest mistake tourists make when they visit Australia is that they try to do too much in too little time. Most important, Have A Great Trip!
Assuming that you want to enjoy your honeymoon and not spend a lot of time falling out with each other, then I'd suggest that crossing the Nullarbor twice in a car is a bad idea.
I would suggest going to www.racq.com.au and then the link to travel planner on which way to go or maybe visiting your local racv branch and picking up some maps from them. You can get them a little cheaper if you are a member.
As to what you can see on the way, well it depends on what both of your interests are? I hear the Nullabor is a long and boring stretch of road so make sure you have some good cd's or you both like playing i-spy or silly games like that to keep you amused!
Enjoy your trip :-)
