OK Chinos. Seeing as 230+ posts in 'CSA China Southern!' and what I thought was a fairly straight answer isn't enough, here it is:

CSA has A330 Captain's based in Melbourne and Brisbane.
  1. A 'base' for CSA's operation means that you sign on and sign off at that location.
  2. 'Sign on' means that you start a duty.
  3. 'Sign off' means you have completed a duty.
  4. When 'signing on' you will normally operate from MEL or BNE to CAN. Occasionally you will pax instead. When 'signing off' you will normally have operated from CAN to MEL or BNE. Occasionally you will pax instead.
  5. A duty may be MEL or BNE -CAN- MEL or BNE, or it may involve additional flights from CAN (and return) before completing the final flight back to your base. eg 'MEL-CAN-AMS-CAN-MEL'. (See 1 for definition of 'base')

If you find this a little hard to follow then I wish you good luck with the screening. You will need it.
