Well, in my experience, it is almost impossible to seats on the flight you want. You have to be flexible with dates and routes. Once, we flew Sydney -> Darwin -> DPS with an overnight stop in Darwin. On the way home we flew via Dawrin and Adelaide! The reason we accepted this was we had fairly rigid dates. Same as this time. We're flying Sydney -> Perth -> DPS in April because we had to go in April. :) Par for the course I am afraid.
Keep trying and you just might get lucky! But probably not.
