My continent of origin now looks like this DRW-BNE, SYD-MEL (less than 24hrs in MEL), MEL-BNE. Seems fine to me.
I went through this same issue today with my TA. I had her consult the fare rules directly from QF's on-line version (apparently last updated in Feb 2004). The only mention of stopovers is as follows:
1. A STOPOVER IS A BREAK OF JOURNEY OVER 24 HOURS -
(unlike QF domestic services where anything that crosses midnight is considered a stopover.)
2. STOPOVER PERMITTED ANYWHERE.
(that means anywhere, no restrictions about number of stops in any one location)
3. MAXIMUM 2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN THE CONTINENT OF ORIGIN -
(this is the only restriction clause)
The only other mention of stopovers is in relation to routing exceptions relating to the one inter-continental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent.
Where is our journey commencing and ending? Once you hit the starting point again, that is the end of the journey. So if you started in BNE, then went RTW and came back to Australia into DRW, then to BNE, that is the end of the trip, no matter how many SWP sectors you have remaining.
