Did you consider the long way around? Atlantic - Europe - Asia - Australia?
I worked with a guy who flew this route, round trip, twice, in a C172 with
factory "long range tanks". It took a while!

Also don't forget that there are sometimes problems with US STC's in Aus.
Australia has its own AD notes, of which many more are issued than in the
US (I checked for my airplane which is not a C172).
