It seems availability is a key problem here.
You have 174,000 Virgin Atlantic ff points?
Looking for 4 on the same flight is domed to fail
Look for 1 at time even on different days/routes/airlines/airports as one ways.
Maybe with a stopover, so 2 awards Au--->Eu.
Long haul business class ward from Australia are always hard. Do a search for every airline ffp if you can. For some you may have to join.
Look at the sub forums for each airline.
Will not be easy.

Transfer Membership Rewards points to which airline or hotel program?
I have received a letter from Amex Au that the conversion rate is to be dramatically reduced.
