S.
I second this. Start looking 330 days out. The QF FF site is slow to respond, but once you find avaiability (and if you play a bit, you WILL find more than one F on some flights), call the CO partners desk immediately, give them these dates and times and flight numbers and you are good to go.
I did this a year go, all in F: JFK-LAX-MEL-SYD-LAX-JFK.
It's out there. You just need to work at it.
