Another question - do you know any bike stores in Melbourne? Not the fancy kind, we simply need some professional support before starting off.

Yes there's plenty of good ones around.
What area of Melbourne are you starting from / staying in?
Someone will probably be able to post a nearby shop that has a decent mechanic.
I can think of several on the Eastern side of town which will be useless if you're staying in the West.

I can now report our final route, actually we did both ways: from Melbourne to Sidney we followed some of the Audax route, then a little on M31 to Albury, then went east to Tumba Rumba but the forecast made us turn back to M31 through Batlow and then to Sydney with a detour through Canberra. Actually this is more or less the original route described above. Then we headed back to Melbourne through the other alternative - the coast, some on A1 but some on smaller back roads on the coast. At Sale we boarded a train to avoid the final busier parts. Later we cycled Great Ocean Road to Warnabool. My friend went on to Tasmania to get some hail and blizzards, I flew back to Sydney and had a few more days near Sydney, one in Blue Mountains.

just click on the camera icon of each day.
Also, at the bottom of each day there is a link מפת היום to Google map of that day.
