British Airways and Qantas have excellent deals to various cities in Australia. You can fly business class to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane or Perth for just £1,999. This is actually a very good airfare as the usual sale price comes in at around £2,700. You can also fly to New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington) for £2,199 whilst Singapore / Bangkok are priced at £1,599.

Fares are ex- London Heathrow, for travel April 4th to August 31st (book at least 14 days in advance with QF, 28 days on BA). Sale ends March 25th.

Qantas is allowing a stopover in Asia (Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong) each way. You can also find some flights on the Airbus A380 which flies out of London 3 days a week currently.

The business fare to Sydney via Asia both ways should earn 560 QFF Status Credits or 480 BA Tier Points. (A straight LON-SYD ticket would earn less – 480 SCs or 440 TPs).

Qantas also has First Class fares at £2,999 return (this would earn 840 SCs via Asia, enough for QFF Gold status; or 720 BA TPs, almost enough for BA Gold for Euro based flyers).

Unfortunately for Australians coming the other way there are no similar priced discount offers.
