ARN-LHR-HKG-MEL and return is around £2k with stopovers in HKG both ways. I've been keeping an eye on it ready to pounce when the Aus GP dates are confirmed.
Bookable on CX website and you can build in an overnight in LHR on the return if needed.

My own priority in recent years has been the AO tennis championships .... also Melbourne, of course, but in January. Have previously used EK, QR, and MH (the latter only as far as ADL, then a QF sector fare on to MEL) but this ARN departure certainly seems an attractive deal.

Meanwhile thanks to everyone for advice/course correction - I currently have the original itinerary above on hold with CX (by phone) for exactly the £2.4K price given on ITA. The ARN deal is more attractive price-wise (also because it would make a nice change of ex-EU start point from my last trip) so further advice very much appreciated; but at least I have the OSL itinerary as a backstop now...
