Or HKG-AKL on CX if they haven't been to New Zealand.

The itinerary in your original post isn't valid as it enters Asia twice.

And Katoomba is indeed a lovely place (even when it's raining and misty like it was when we were there in June -- part of our DONE4).
Two entries are permitted in Asia as long as one is a transit without stopover between Europe and SWP.

34N . 5. ONLY 1 INTERCONTINENTAL DEPARTURE AND 1
35N . INTERCONTINENTAL ARRIVAL PERMITTED IN EACH
36N . CONTINENT EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:

37N . * 2 PERMITTED IN NORTH AMERICA WHEN 1 IS A
38N . TRANSIT WITHOUT STOPOVER.
39N . * 2 PERMITTED IN ASIA WHEN 1 IS A TRANSIT
40N . WITHOUT
41N . STOPOVER OR ON DIRECT SINGLE PLANE SERVICE
42N . BETWEEN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC AND EUROPE.

43N . * 2 PERMITTED IN EUROPE WHEN 1 IS A TRANSIT
44N . WITHOUT STOPOVER BETWEEN
