Would this work?
Purchase an ex-KRT xONE3 in Australia (no published xONE3 fares in Australia - or any southern hemisphere country for that matter)
Then after commencing the journey upgrade it to an xONE4/5/6 using this rule:
16(c) Upgrading
5) At any time the oneworld Explorer fare may be used as credit towards payment of any higher fare from the point of origin provided the conditions of the higher fare have been met. No fee will apply. Where such credit is towards another Explorer fare, retroactive use will be permitted. Reissued tickets must be endorsed --NON REF/ XXX-- (XXX equals oneworld Explorer fare basis code) and the original Non-Refundable amount remains Non-Refundable. If the upgraded ticket is subsequently cancelled, the original fee will apply.
