SQ award from regional Australia to regional New Zealand?

Is it possible to redeem a Krisflyer *A award from regional Australia to regional New Zealand? e.g. LST-MEL-AKL-NSN?

Or is it possible to redeem from MEL to a Pacific Island?

I think it could be somehow done, since both DJ and NZ cooperate, but I think it cannot be done as *A award - nobody from the *A flies to LST...

LST-MEL on DJ ... 10,000 pts. MEL-AKL-NSN on NZ ... 12,500 pts.

OR buy fare LST-MEL (with long connection!) and use KF points MEL-AKL-NSN.

Nope It would work this way ensure you have at least 10,000 points plus taxes in the Velocity Account for the sector to Melbourne and you can use your Kris Flyer for the NZ sectors and get the award there

No you can definitely redeem KF miles on DJ for MEL-LST (not that it is necessarily the best use of them) or you can even redeem MEL-LST-AKL for 18,000 KF miles on DJ. Details can be found on SQ website.

MEL-LST-AKL does not even exist.... You'd have to do MEL-LST-MEL-AKL
