Edit - I checked on the PPT-TYO again, and whilst it shows a route it is via AKL. I am leaning towards a visit to French Polynesia on another trip and going from Sydney straight to Tokyo but will look at some of the options suggested by

If you can drop PPT, then a DONE4 will generally make more sense and give you more value than a glob ex. You could pretty much hit all of your other destinations plus a few more as noted by others above. 16 segments with unlimited mileage provides a bit more freedom and flexibility.
