Thanks for the tip, now for the newbie mistake of not being able to find the button!
Enjoy it! CW is splendid on your first trip if you're more used to travelling in the spartan cabins further back.
Bring some decent headphones too, in case a party of yah-boo suits conspires to spoil the experience with their self-important drivel and incessant whinging.
(yes, this did happen on mine with a wunch of bankers seated in the row opposite...)
I'm sure that would never, never happen!
Bose at the ready nonetheless!

Which lounge will you be in? 4 hours is an incredibly long time. Take some decent reading material or a media device to pass the time.
Above all, manage your expectations - it is BA business class so very pedestrian when it comes to quality/luxury. Hopefully you get a decent crew.
It is a long time, but I'll be with my Mum and Dad, so we'll probably do some shopping then head to Galleries South. The AUS flight tends to depart from the B gates from what I've seen, so might spend some time in that lounge too.

Thanks Rebecula!
