If the OP flies monthly to Australia, CX Gold isn't that far fetched.
The question is what ports does the OP use in Australia - QF Plat only really helps on domestic Australian legs and in SYD and MEL where there is the F lounge.
If the OP is likely to use CX more, then who knows, you may hit DM if you end up with some more unexpected flying!
Very good points! As QF PL, I use those F lounges - and are often overcrowded and not too much of a bonus over the Biz lounges.
The QF F lounges in MEL and SYD (eg free full menu resto) as well as the new on in HKG are amazing! But those are nice perks and not the reason to stick with a FF program.
