Circle Pacific T&C

I am wondering if I need to travel to all continents (North America / Australia / Asia) for the fare to be valid? From my understanding, the rule states minimum of only 2 stopover. I only need to be in Asia and North America for this trip but my Travel Agent insists that I need to travel to Australia and do 24 hr stopover over there as well. Are they right?

Thank you for your help.

You must travel to all three continents - see rule B below

Rule 2 requires at least two stopovers, but it does not require a stopover in each region
Therefore it appears to me that you could just do transit in SWP if that is what you wanted. But you MUST go there
