Cheap flights to the UK at Xmas?

Question

I was told that there were charter airlines that operated cheap flights between Australia and the UK around Xmas time. Do any companies still operate these flights? I need to make a quick trip to the UK in December and apparently I'm travelling at the most expensive time of the year - investigations on travel websites and airline websites so far has returned flights that cost around $3000. If I have to pay this much then I'll just have to bite the bullet and cough up, but I wanted to exhaust ALL the options before making up my mind. Anybody know of any cheaper options that I've missed? Any info appreciated.

I wonder if you have tried this: http://au.xl.com/ - found flights starting at almost $1,500 AUD but then again was using Melbourne to London Gatwick to see the costs.

Yeah I looked for cheap flights around that time too to the uk but couldn't find any cheaper than that. I don't think the cheap charter flights are available anymore or are not available at peak times.
