Direction to go to Australia -- where does it change?

Possibly cheating as an answer, but it looks like from Manila in the Philippines you'd fly west to Perth and east to Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane / etc!
(Manila is at 14° 35' N, 121º 00 E. Perth is west of it at 31°57'S, 115°52'E. Sydney is well east at 33°53'S, 151°10'E)

I would say from Europe, Africa, and Asia you always want to go East and from the Americas you want to go west. Where in Australia you want to go doesn't really matter.

Doesn't matter. Well it does, but really it's so far you'll be tired regardless ;)
For example, from LON (London) to SYD (Sydney) there are flights through DXB (Dubai), BKK (Bangkok), SYD (Sydney), HKG (Hong Kong) and more (ie, heading east). However, there are ALSO flights heading west via LAX (Los Angeles), SFO (San Francisco), YVR (Vancouver), SCL (Santiago) and EZE (Buenos Aires) (the last two connecting in AKL (Auckland)).
So it's often dependent on the airline, the price, and what suits you best. As an added benefit, it means you have LOTS of airlines to compete with each other, so lots to search for a cheaper price ;)

From Newfoundland, minimizing the great circle distance does indeed lead to completely different courses:
But I have no idea whether airlines actually do it like that (or if there are direct flights from that region to Australia at all); I doubt it.
Basically, the part of the world where this matter most is the part that's exactly opposite from Australia. And that happens to be smack in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
