Not technically correct, a direct flight Canberra to Doha could be possible, just not with a full load, a quick look at the charts would suggest a 500000lb max weight scenario as a rough guide, throw in fuel for Doha and payload might not be great!

By linking with Sydney they are maximising load and traffic allowances under capacity agreements.

There is a really good article on performance limited takes offs worth a read:
