a domestic flight so you will clear customs at Melbourne where you can purchase duty free on arrival in MEL. The 100ml Gels and Liquids laws do not apply on Australian domestic flights. You won't have far to walk as International and Domestic terminals are in the same building :-)
In the past we have fell fowl of airlines re-scheduling and cancelled flights... sometimes airlines consolidate their flights if not enough people are booked to make it profitable.
It could be worse as they could have re-routed you through Perth ah!!! making it an even longer journey.
Have a great holiday :-)
