Minimising jet-lag to Oz

Currently very excited by my forthcoming trip down under in F, and having never flown to Australia before, I was hoping some of my fellow FTers would give some tips about how best to survive the journey.

My "sleep strategy" as it stands at the moment.....

Getting there, I have a 2 night stop over in Singapore, which should help I think.
BA15 - LHR-SIN, leaves 21.45. I was thinking pre-flight dining would be best, then watch a movie and try and sleep for a few hours then staying awake for the last few hours of the flight.

Two nights in Singapore

BA17 - SIN-MEL, leaves 19.15. Eat on plane then sleep as much as possible until woken for landing.

Coming home is all the way through, but with an extended layover in SIN.

BA16 - SYD-SIN, leaves 16.25, arrives 21.15. Try to stay awake all flight.

Freshen up with a shower in SIN?

BA18 - SIN-LHR, leaves 23.35, lands 05.50. Stay awake for a few hours, then sleep as long as possible.

Any advice is greatly received, plus any other hints and tips for the journey.

Thanks all!
