Yes you probably have to as Air Malta does not operate to Sardinia in Winter. Maybe you can take an Air Malta flight, or low cost flight-Ryanair to Sicily, and then take a flight to Sardinia from there.

Opps, Australia to London ,across to the USA then back to London and finally Australia. The less flying in EUROPE the better.Is going to Corsica(then ferry to Sardinia) any easier?

Yes, If you like a place where it is very often sunny and warm, rich in history and culture with ancient cities like Mdina, and a zone in St Julians that is full of nightlife, cinemas and clubs, then it is certainly worth's a going to Malta. Another plus side is that all Maltese know how to speak English

Malta, Sardinia and Corsica are all worth visiting but as they are all islands you will have to fly or take the ferry which will take a lot longer. In some cases, ferries do not exist. The only ferry from Malta I know of, goes to Sicily. If you don't want to fly within Europe then you are better off sticking to the mainland areas, i.e. not islands.

To check who flies where look at www.flycheapo.com
also look at the traditional airlines, depending on which country you want to fly from, e.g. Air Malta for Malta or Air France for Corsica.

How long do you have all together?

Kay is right, there is a ferry to Sicily from Malta, but it stops at the very southern tip of Sicily in Winter, in Pozzallo, and you would have a long drive to Catania, the nearest airport to go to Sardinia. I would opt for an Air Malta flight to Catania, or a low cost Ryan Air flight to Trapani in Northern Sicily or Bari in southern Italy, and take a flight to Sardinia from there. Ryanair operates twice a week on these routes.
