The -136 served Oz until the late 80s! There was a daily service to SYD which stopped both ways at SIN and variously at BAH, AUH or MCT also. Outbound they then fanned out across Oz usually on a shuttle from SYD to BNE, MEL or ADL. There was also a 3 weekly service by -236 from LHR to BOM and PER. Twice a week this flew non-stop to AKL and once via SYD to AKL. Likewise there were a couple of -236 services a week via BKK to SYD. This was pretty much continued until the -436 took over. There was a flight crew base maintained in SYD where a 3 month posting could be had living in rented accommodation and flying the routes around the antipodes and up to BKK and SIN.
