Stansted - Melbourne / Perth - but not on all days.

However, it should be noted that one crucial thing is that in the event of delays / cancellations causing you to miss your onward flight, you will not be looked after / accommodated. So you should ensure you have back up cash for a cheapie hotel and food etc..
