Default Singapore Airlines, Heathrow to Perth - baggage?

I am planning to fly to Perth with Singapore Airlines and wondered if anyone could help me with a question about baggage! I'll probably phone them tomorrow to ask but I am rubbish at being patient and would love an answer right now

Our flight from Heathrow arrives in Singapore at 07:20 am and then the flight to Perth is at 01:15 am. Does anyone know if I'd need to collect my baggage and look after it all day or if the airline will keep it and sort out getting it onto the next flight? Since I'm not booking these two flights separately?

Thanks in advance for any help!

(also any seat recommendations for the A380? I see you can pay extra for preferred seats, does anyone know which ones these are - other than the emergency exit ones?)

If you are through ticketed then you will not get your bags back.

Check out Seat Guru for comments on particular seating configurations

If you are checked right through and they issue you with onward boarding passes from Singapore to Perth then you will not see your bags until you arrive in Perth. However, you may want to consider packing a few essentials in your hand luggage to get you through the day, a change clothes, toiletries, etc.

You can check your luggage through if the connection is <24 hours. However, because your stop over is so long you might want to consider the airport hotel for a room to shower and have a siesta in.
