    cheapest would be any time after march as the peak season is oct - feb.
    there are a few options to fly, depends which route you want to go.
    When I came over here from Sydney I flew with Singapore Airlines (Sydney - Signapore - London - Dublin), they are very good and I'd only fly with them when I go home. Comfort is a big thing to consider on a 24 hour flight.

    Qantas fly Dublin - Frankfurt - Singapore - Sydney, but would be around the same price as Singapore Airlines.

    You would be looking at around 1100 - 1400 inc tax

    oh Thanks I really appricate the advice.I think my Brother can pick me up in Sydney or Brisban.Which ever is nearest Queensland.He lives in Toowoomba.Which is why I am not pushed on site seeing as I believe its like a remote area, with very little going on.I really hope I can pull this off.Thanks again,

    I went last April and I got it for just under €900

    I went with Quantas and they were great I found.

    Went Dublin - Frankfurt - Singapore (I think) - Sydney

    Go to TrailFinders in Dublin

    They have or offer the best prices
