Thank you once more Marisa for your interpretation of the rules and veritable fountain of knowledge.
I understood the BVB will automatically be granted to 804 applicants due to the long timeframe (30 years ? ) for visa to be granted.
My original question relates to the section which says 'why you want to travel' ? and wondering if a request to visit UK family members once or twice a year
would gain approval.

When you can travel on a BVB
BVBs are granted with a defined travel period. You can leave and re-enter Australia during this travel period.
When we determine the BVB travel period we will consider:
why you want to travel
when we are likely to make a decision on your substantive visa application
When you apply for the BVB:
provide evidence of your reason for travel outside Australia
let us know when you intend to travel
Your visa grant notice will clearly define the travel period of your BVB if we grant it.
We can't change or extend the BVB travel period after we grant it. If you are in Australia when the travel period ends and you need to travel outside Australia again, you can apply for another BVB.
