This itinerary gives me about 60 hours in Sydney and 72 hours in Auckland. It's not much, but it dovetailed very nicely with my schedule. Given I'm already drowning in frequent flier miles (and only expect to add more next year with EXP and 1K requalification, credit card bonuses, and sundry promotions [US Grand Slam comes to mind]), I'll have no problem going back.

I haven't quite figured that bit out. I'll probably spend some time orientating myself--it's fun to do--and being a naive tourist.
