Thanks for posting. If I can get this to work it will save me >GBP1300 across 3 tickets. regrettably the OTAs only have very simple booking engine interfaces - so it's next to impossible to force an overnight but <24hr connection in London.

Give kayak a go, I've found it gives the most flight combinations. The ones to look out for are around 40 hours each direction with an overnight in London.

Last year I organised a flight for my partner to travel from Ireland to Canada for half the cost if she had flown from UK, so she went PE instead of Y. Never found out why flights ex Ireland are so cheap, despite the fact that they usually transit via a European airport.

I'v booked one of these, but 99% sure it will be cancelled.
Due to the increased competition by Mainland Chinese carriers on the kangaroo route, price are rock-bottom outside the high travel season.

Pretty sure it is a mistake fare as it is exactly the one-way fare but sold as round trip. QF is having a pretty good sale to compete with the chinese carriers, but not having to go quite this low (which is close to below cost of fuel once you subtract the gov't fees from the fare).
