I arrive in SYD day 1 at 11am and my flight would leave from MEL>SIN on QF @ 11:30am the last day after 5 nights in the country.
I concur with the other comments re 3:2. MEL is worth more than a day. Plus, you're likely to have such a wonderful time at the PH in SYD that you'll be planning a longer return visit before you even leave.
My stay at the PH MEL was my worst PH stay anywhere in the world. (My comments are in the thread for that property.) People tend to say good things about the GH in MEL. If I return I'll likely give that a go. It will be cheaper for you -- so you can save some points for your return to the PH SYD.
