Not the same dates but still peak/high/exxy season. We bought our MEL-DPS (via Darwin) both ways on May 26th for $826 pp. 26/12/11- 08/01/12. Direct flights were not available when we booked but Jetstar later added direct flights and they were a LOT more expensive and almost double what we paid. The nearer it got to Christmas the dearer the tickets got. 2 years ago we paid $1,100 pp for flights leaving Boxing Day.
If I were you I'd keep an eye on Jetstar's website and check in every day :-)
PS the DPS-MEL via Darwin flight was the pits and I swear I'll never do it again.
