Welcome to FT!
You should really put this in your own thread (and maybe the Mods will split it off?)
Anyway.... Easiest will probably be Thai (TG) LHR-BKK-SYD (and return!)
Don't forget to book as two single journeys, not a return.
You can have a stopover both ways and for the same miles you can go to NZ as well.
So LHR-BKK (STOP)-SYD-AUK out and AUK-SYD(STOP)-BKK-LHR is fine.
You can also get up to 24hrs to connect in BKK on the way back, but you will pay another small departure tax.
Exploring ANA, you may find it easier to spot availability leg by leg, rather than putting in the full trip. ie. search LHR-BKK, then look for BKK-SYD.
