Has anyone transited Terminal 3 to Terminal 5 at Heathrow lately?? I have only 90 minutes from the time the flight arrives to get to another flight and I have been told that I will never make it and that I should have allowed at least 3 hours.HELP. Also, how long is the walk from the plane to the bus connection to get to Terminal 5.

It all depends on where you're coming from and where you're going to. Please tell us.

Then you're lucky. You don't have to go through passport control or customs in London.
Here's Heathrow Airport's webpage explaining exactly what you have to do:
Heathrow Flight Connections
I would have thought 90 minutes should have been enough but they're claiming 120.
A question: I know your flight out of Melbourne/Singapore is on Qantas, but it's also a BA codeshare. Did you ticket it as a BA flight? (Does it have a BA flight number?) If yes, and you miss the connection, and BA sold you the ticket, they'll put you on the next available flight to Berlin if you miss yours. (Assuming you bought it as a Melbourne to Berlin flight and not two separate flights.)
