Just received a phone call that this is invalid since chc-syd is being flown twice.

I know I could solve by flying to AYQ through BNE or MEL + ASP

I could also solve by flying to LHR via BNE or MEL + SIN

But I started thinking, I really don't want to go through Europe. At the end of NZ I want the quickest way from CHC to ORD [that is within rules].

Any ideas?
If I understand your question you want to do NA, SWP, and Asia and leave out Europe. You could do that on a circle pacific fare but not a Global explorer or a OWE. You have to cross the atlantic and pacific and have to have stops in areas 1, 2, and 3.

46N . 4. TRAVEL MUST INCLUDE A POINT
47N . IN AREA 1, AREA 2 AND AREA 3
48N . AND MUST BE VIA BOTH THE
49N . ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS.
50N . 1 TRANSATLANTIC AND 1
51N . TRANPACIFIC FLIGHT IS
52N . PERMITTED.
