Thanks for the tip!

Looks like my SYD-CNS round-trip in July is 35000 miles + USD40, which isn't really a win compared to the AUD310 = USD220 from just buying the "choice" (includes a bag etc) ticket directly. I'm glad I bought the cash one a while ago rather than waiting for what I assumed would be the amazing award flight deals to appear.

Now, the business award flights are 25k miles + USD20 each-way, i.e. only a little bit more than coach. Maybe this is where the deals are, for those who are into virgin australia domestic business.
