You are overthinking all this. Bio security, baggage lost, carry on, wildlife risk, weather
Ignore the stupid social media hype~rubbish. You seem to belive this rubbish 
Read the ticket t&c's for checked bags and carry bags you will have no issues, like 100% of all passengers that comply. Same for bringing items into Australia (bio security)

Other airlines will have the same type of information.
With FJ you could purchase an open jaw all in a single ticket. QF and the other airlines would also sell open jaw, dependant on airports.
