Informed around 4; mins ago that tomorrow nights QF5 is cancelled because the plane is “stuck” somewhere. I guess I was lucky as I was shifted into Qatar via Doha to London.
 
VH-ZNE returned to stand as QF76 and is now departing tomorrow night so there's no aircraft to operate QF5.
So it’s not “stuck” somewhere - there just aren’t enough aircraft? mutter mutter … wonder if I can get them to shift me onto the Melbourne flight instead of trekking over to Perth …

There are no spares. That's the problem with QF long haul - the moment an aircraft is out of action, you have cascading delays.

If you are departing from MEL, yes, there should be no issue with putting you on MEL-DOH-LHR if your original routing was indeed MEL-PER-FCO-LHR.
