Question just for reference...
If one realized the connection window was collapsing, could you just make the connection and skip picking up the bag- and then contact them and ask them to ship it?
would be good to know as an ultimate fallback.
(Seems OP has solved it for now, so just wondering. And indeed one can always misconnect no matter how much time you allow...)

The second afternoon flight has now changed from 1630 to 1730 ... I really do not want to spend five hours in an airport even in a good lounge.
Is there anywhere to nap in the airport?

Yes, so it says on the website. Alternatively I could collect it on the way back, if I go back via SYD. I am still considering that.

QF lounges will not be suitable for napping, as they call each flight and it's usually noisy, combined with multiple loud mobile phone talkers doing surround sound effects.

It's not like the BA LGW one and can be amusing the first time you use it.

I sedond the suggestion of the Qantas Heritage Collection - maybe the JLounge for a bit, then the museum (in order to stretch your legs) then back to the JLounge?
