In BNE, the International Terminal is about 2 km from the Domestic Terminal. Its a bus or train connection (or walk - which is perfectly pleasant (sometimes)). As per the above, there is no option but to leave the International Terminal landside then go through security again at Domestic. Fortunately, security in Oz is relatively painless and lines move quickly (think 5 min max). No domestic ID checks, shoes stay on (unless full of steel). If eligible for entry, the QF domestic lounge is better than anything you'll find in the USA (almost anywhere).
