There's no Qantas F lounge accessible on a domestic itinerary - so the Penfold + massage experience would not have been available to the OP. QF doesn't suffer from BA's costly situation at T5 where Y pax on cheap domestics can access the CCR with the right card.

QF's Business/OWE domestic lounge at SYD is not impressive at all, and the food offering well below the BA lounges at LHR. MEL's Business/OWE lounge has nicer food.
