    The dates are a little flexible as long as we get to brisbane around the 1st week of Feb and are there for roughly 4 weeks, ideally departing from Manchester.
    I think the above flight is cheap as the Heathrow to Melbourne stint is roughly 21 hours of flying with a minor stop in Singapore.
    Cheers
    Lee.

    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
