Yep! My sister flew from Atlanta to Melbourne when she lived in Austrailia.
I think that was only 21hrs though.

I found this in an article from the New York Daily News:
Ledger, a rising star in Hollywood known for his brooding personality and complex roles, is expected to be buried in his native Perth, Australia.
Funeral plans remain shrouded in secrecy, but the Bowra & O'Dea funeral home in Midland Australia, is believed to be handling the arrangements.
The century-old funeral home is just a couple of miles away from Guildford, where Ledger attended grammar school in the 1980s.
Mike Ledger, Heath's uncle, told Australian news services that the family was still finalizing plans, but they were considering holding a private wake at Guildford Grammar.
Employees at Bowra & O'Dea were tight-lipped yesterday.
"I don't have any information I can tell you, sorry," a manager said when asked when Ledger's body would be received.
