It seems there is no UA metal out of MEL within at least days of that departure and I was not re-booked on another flight. So I will assume that UA is suspending all MEL service for August. Time to call for a refund unless the agents try to force me on to a QF flight connection through SYD that leaves within 6 hours of original departure?
UA is only offering service to SYD in the near term / summer.

If you prefer a refund, that is the way I would start the conversion.
