Can you ask some specific questions? BDs program works thorugh accrual of points. Points are earned on all Star alliance flights. However, the number of points is not related to the distance flown but to the approximate route (geographical area to area) and to the class of service flown.

For example:
SQ Europe-SIN 170 (Y) 240 (C) 300 (F)
SQ Aus/NZ-SIN 120/150/170

AN Aus domestic 30 (Y)/40 (C)/No F
AN Aus-HKG 150/220

BD UK domestic 30 (Y)/30 (C)/ No F
BD UK-CDG/AMS/BRU/DUB/Germany/Nice 30/50
BD UK-Scandinavia/Italy/Spain 40/70
BD UK-USA 195 (discount eco)/210 (full eco)/240 (C)

As for redemption...
300 points: LHR-MAN/CDG/AMS/BRU
350 : UK-DUB
400: Other UK domestic, STN-Cologne
500: Other UK-Germany
600: UK-Scandinavia
700: UK-Milan/Barcelona/Madrid/Nice
800: UK-Rome/Palma/Malaga/Fargo

you can get a flight on NZ from NZ to Aus (except Perth) for 600 points (510 domestic NZ). On Ansett it will cost you 1200 points for domestic Aus.

If you want to know anything else specific, jusk ask.
