Cycle? Walk?

You could look for a 'paying' boat trip. Work on board a ship whilst getting there. Dunno if that sort of stuff exists.

Failing that, its a matter of twaling the cheap flight sites. You would probably have to change a few times, but you can get there. Dont forget that February is worund thier summer, hence the price

Checkout flights to Oz first. Brisbane or Sydney.

Feb is mid summer so it's bound to be more expensive. Cost us £1050 per ticket last Christmas.

Interestingly calling Air NZ got us a better price than using their website. We Flew BA and Qantas though.

I reckon if you could jump up and defeat gravity and the earths pull, you could just float in the air until the planet revolves
