Quite honestly I wouldn't bother: just go to The Pier by gate 62/63 and you're in the best lounge in HKG, arguably one of the best lounges in the world. That's assuming you're Gold/Emerald or travelling in First. If you really want to look at Qantas, it's literally to the side as you come in through security, so that's nice and easy - then head onward from there (you'll bypass The Bridge en route).
The Pier lounge is a 15min walk from the plane, however, so keep that in mind in both directions (assuming gate 15/16, anyway). There won't be any announcements in any Cathay lounge either, so keep an eye on the boards. There is a train, but I find the walking perfectly fine and less disruptive (escalators are slow in Asia as people stand everywhere - including travellators, actually, but look far ahead to work out if not going on one will actually be quicker; there's about 12 of them between gates 62 and 15). Or you can pay a buggy driver to whisk you between.
EDIT: Apparently The Deck has just opened at Gate 16. I'd totally missed that when there literally yesterday. D'oh.
