I'm based in Austrlia now, so may even try and use them on VA, but would prefer NZ as I've hitched my Gold status on SA to them, so want to fly on as much Air NZ metal as possible to ensure I keep my status.
Will be able to report back in May once the trip is done.
You are far better off redeeming for VA than NZ looking at these charts. I'm assuming the NZ chart is in miles rather than km but don't know for sure. Some of the routes in WA no longer exist for VA.
