Do you have an onward flight?

If so you could use the Domestic Lounge(s) in T1.

(FWIW, a Qantas Platinum has same day arrivals access to Domestic Qantas Clubs/Business Lounges) http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...egory=qcLounge

There are no arrivals lounges in Australia. The airports don't see them as needed.

The airlines don't see them as needed. Lounges are provided by the airlines or 3rd parties. Not the airport company's

The airports would gladly provide arrivals lounges - if they could make a buck or two hundred from them. And the buck or two hundred would have to be in the realm of car parking charges to make the temptation come to reality.

If the airport owners thought they could keep you parked in their cash register car park longer, they would offer all sorts of "amenities".

While using the search function is always a good idea, lets try to be nice and help the OP by pointing him in the right direction:
