I did use some this July for a short run, SYD-BNE return on Qantas, got to have a shower and endless barista made lattes and so much FOOD in the domestic SYD lounge. It was 9am Aussie time so no booze was consumed. I did wake up at 4:30am on the plane though... Such a change compared to the LAX T7 UA "lounge" just hours before.
Living in Vancouver I have used Avios for YVR-LAX-YVR on Alaska many times and it is pretty good value but the flight times not that great.
LAX-SCL on LAN Airlines 787 was great value for 120,000 Avios and $36.00 for 2 people in J
Looking forward to YVR-JFK on Cathay in First next spring.
