If you don't want to drive more than 6 hours per day, you will probably need three days, maybe four, to cover Blue Mountains to Melbourne via the coast.

As for places to stop on the way, it is a long time since I have been down that way from a touristy POV, it has always been work related, so can't really comment.

HOWEVER, Merimbula is really nice, Lakes Entrance is really nice, and Sussex Inlet is where I spent a lot of time as a kid (and it was really nice back then, my grand parents retired there).
