Hello Amanda :)

My guess is that the most econmical way to get that number of people overland to Australia would be to drive an old vehicle that you can sell or abandon when you are finished with it. You could try going the same route as OZ bus takes. They are experienced with this overland trip so the route they take is probably the safest one. Their London to Sydney trip takes them 3 months so it may take you around that much time too. Also in case you dont realise, you will need visas for many of the countries you would go through. You are not taking the easy option but I would love to do it like you are too. It would give one a real perspective on just how big the world is.
Here is the Oz bus website so you can look at the details. I think they have a route map in there too.

Obviously, it's all depend of the budget and the time...at the end of the day...you may also want to come back...smile!
Cruising would be a good option...or heading on a cargo...be careful, the cargo way is not always the cheapest. Now, you can start to head down by train/car/buses as low as Egypt. The tricky part by road with kids is between Egypt and India, as well as from India to Thailand...so you could do a mix of land and sea....that's going to be an amazing trip...and whynot come back the other way...cruises do exist from Australia to Hawai, than on to US East Coast...than from NY to England!
