we are flying New Year's Day! I decided to leave earlier and take Qantas to Qantas. Issue was we were originally VA to ANZ and leaving late afternoon but ANZ changed the flight. So ANZ was accommodating but put us on this shorter connection where bags could not be checked through so I found an alternative per all your advice and after much argument ( in a nice way actually) they agreed. Believe me I did not want to leave that much earlier on Jan 1 so not great, we leave 3 hours earlier and have 3 hours in Melbourne, but we can check bags through and hopefully not worry about it as we have plans there!
Thanks to everyone for your help! It's been great! Happy new year soon!
