Three years ago, after paying to get to AKL on my own dime from YYC to AKL, I was able to use aeroplan redemption for 4 from AKL to SYD with MEL/ WLG (23 hour layover)/AKL return. Total taxes for 4 was $355.52 and 100,000 AP points.
Today a similar itinerary is still bookable and would be 4 x 30,000 AP Points and $520 in taxes for 2 Adults, 2 Children.
