Places like PVD, BDL, ALB, SYR, ROC, BUF, DTW, PIT, MDT, ABE, RIC, ORF, TPA, STL, CVG, CMH, DAY, CLE, IND, SDF, BNA, MEM, OKC, and many others.

Many or most of these have service to DFW and IAH. QF now provides a one stop option to Australia whereas UA does not.
I can't imagine places like those add much more than 1 passenger per day per city going to SYD on average...
