"When loaded with passengers and baggage, the airline will be able to fly 10,900 miles non-stop" Yes, it did 13,500. Unloaded. It'll just be able to do London - Sydney loaded if the shortest possible aircraft route is available, and in the right conditions. Really want to rely on no headwinds to make it across Oz...? The longest scheduled commercial service offered currently is the over 18 hour non-stop from Newark to Singapore. Maybe someone will offer a London-Sydney non-stop in the future, and maybe it'll be a 777 that does it, but currently no plane can do it commercially, as I said.
