Brisbane to London return

Hi,
Can anybody advise on a good site for cheap flights FROM Australia to London return. All UK sites only do London to Brisbane and I'm wanting to fly my dad over later this year. I found one or two Australian websites but the cost of the return flight Brisbane to UK was about 25% more than London to Brisbane return.
I don't know whether this is because I haven't found a good flight finding site for Australian flights or whether it is more expensive to do the trip that way round.
Grateful for any advice, Thanks

    Eh? All the sites I've ever seen (airline websites included) - except the charter airlines websites - allow you to type in any airport you like as the start and end points

    Have you tried the likes of Expedia & Kayak?

    Hi!
    Just out of interest - it would be great if you post what you end up doing (which website/airline, prices, etc) - my Dad lives in southern Queensland, too! I'm hoping to visit him in a couple of years time, but was wondering if it would be cheaper for him to come here........probably not, but it would be interesting to know!

    Thanks if you do!:T
