There are a couple of folks in Australia who do that ferry on a regular basis. I recall there was a recent article in AOPA about on fellow who did it a lot. The article was about doing it in a C182 and having the engine quit and his rescue.
There have been several earth rounders recently and they did have to ship in their own 100LL for the stretch between Turkey and China as I recall.
I have done the initial planning to fly around the Pacific and spend a bit of time touring Australia and New Zealand and it looks do-able if you add extra tanks in case you do have to tanker fuel.
The US to Australia routing is to Hawaii, Christmas Island, Samoa, Fiji etc. with the Leg to Hilo in Hawaii being 2,025 nm. That is a long time.
All those various places in teh Pacific likely have flying clubs so you could check availability of 100LL.
It would be a great trip.
