I have been advised that as long as I keep the weight of the bag at (or below) 23kgs in the flights to Sydney, that it should be OK? That the suitcase might be treated as a bulky item?

Kind of makes it confusing for people who need to fly in from regional areas to make an international flight.

Thanks in advance. Any advice appreciated.

The simple answer is you can't solve your problem by adding extra luggage. You've booked separate tickets and the allowance doesn't apply over the two different days. That being said I've never seen them be that picky about bag size more just weight when flying from regional ports.
