Air Pacific from Hawaii to Brisbane
My wife is taking a post-doc at Brisbane GSB and we're heading to Oz from Jan-Aug.
I got all five of us from RDU to Hawaii business on AA using frequent flyer miles. Now I have to span the last bit.
I am thinking Air Pacific through Fiji (non-stopish) on the way there and then, on the way back, spending a week in Fiji.
Stupid? Better alternatives?

TierFlyer, it's not stupid, but a very good idea!
Flights will operate HNL-NAN-BNE or HNL-TRW-NAN-BNE (Tuesday only)
Honolulu to Brisbane (Air Pacific)
Flying time is about 13hrs 40mins.
Air Canada + Qantas and Jetstar International + Qantas has options 13hrs 45mins to about 14hrs. I believe though your quickest option is on Qantas 767 service from HNL-SYD then a domestic flight to Brisbane.
I'd check out what Hawaiian and Virgin Blue can offer...
Just remember though there is always a daily service from Honolulu to Sydney and you may need to travel on the days when FJ doesn't offer HNL-NAN flights. I guess what you chose will come down to when you plan to depart. On the way back, a flight from Brisbane to Nadi will be easy and is offered daily - then you can have your week in Fiji.
Although, you're not crazy for choosing Air Pacific. It's certainly a good choice if wanting to travel from HNL to BNE or vv.
Cheers
