Wow - that certainly fits the bill - however, since I'm Sydney based, I decided to start from Melbourne, because returning from overseas, my luggages will certainly be bursting, hence Sydney is my port of entry in Australia. If I start from Sydney, I wouldn't be able to go back to Sydney and then do the OZ legs to finish off the max 20 segments (I'm doing my OZ legs a couple of months after I return from overseas).
