Could some OzBargainers please help?
Need to buy a coupla tix : Sydney-London-Sydney - Dep around 25th March 2014 (+ or - 3 days) for a 4 week trip.
What are the cheapest fares you can find, please?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Thanks, pushniacki.
Followed your advice and bought through Expedia Brazil. Cost A $ 1400. Dep end March, return just after Easter.
Am happy with that price as carriers are QF, BA, EK.
Went on to Flight Fox - they seemed to specialise in complicated (or, expensive?)itineraries and simple, plain vanilla, coach class return tix from point a to b, did not appear to be of interest. Understandably so.
Again, thanks for your advice.
Have a great time in London. Looking at the frequency of your travel, if you haven't done so, why not sign up for a frequent flyer? Since you seem to enjoy Qantas and BA, I highly recommend AAdvantage. You can often get a free flight one way anywhere around Oz (exc. Tax) just for flyng to Europe and back (check fare codes for details).
I am a member of 6 Or 7 major ff programmes but will check out AAdvantage. Thanks.
A correction. Just got my credit card statement. Net, net flight to London costs about $ 1433.Expedia costs, exchange rate rip-offs by credit card issuing bank etc.
However, still very reasonable deal compared to most I have seen on the net!
Didn't you ask this earlier in the year (albeit with different dates…)?

The tips aren't going to change. .br, flight engine searches are going to be the same recommendation.
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/120155 lists other options.
If you want cheaper, agent style quotes try flightfox.
