Fuel on the 747 is stored mostly in the wings. There is a "center wing" tank that is actually underneath the cabin. Some models of the 747-400 also have fuel in the tail.

A pair of 747 aircraft were specially modified to handle the shuttle orbiters. The orbiter is lifted by a crane and mounted to the back of the 747 using the same mount points the orbiter is mounted to the external fuel tank for launch. Upon arriving at the Kennedy Space Center, a similar crane lifts the orbiter off the 747 which then backs out from under the orbiter.

Can a Boeing 747-400 fly from Sydney to London?
Not really, In current times, the 747-400 could fly the, about, 22 hour flight from Sydney to London flight if needed but there would be some changes to the flight. There would have to be a larger fuel tank added, no cargo and not a full load of passengers. In 1989, a Qantas 747-400 flew directly from Sydney, Australia, to London, England on its delivery flight. This aircraft was not carrying any passengers or cargo aboard. This 747 had a extended fuel tank installed so it could travel the entire distance with no stops.
