We went back to Syd very recently and the 747 we were on took about 3hr20min. Coming back on the Monday took 4hr 30min. Easily watched 2 movies coming back.
On one trip over east last year, the Qantas pilot flew down to Melbourne from Syd before turning west to Perth.

Really enjoyed the 747 on the flight over. I said to my wife (who hasn't been on one yet) watch the outboard engine as we flew over the Perth hills just after takeoff - moving around like stiff jelly! She quickly shut the blind
