Any thoughts on what the fact it will be winter means to my travel plans? Sounds like Brisbane will be like LA (temperate year-round), but I'm less confident about Sydney and Auckland...

Never been to Brisbane. Really good food in Sydney but the last time I was there it was incredibly expensive. Anyone could make a ton of money working at a mine drilling minerals for the Chinese, which drove prices up. This may have cooled off. When I go for work, I stay near The Rocks, which is not the most interesting part of town -- go farther afield. Take a ferry somewhere and back.
Auckland was pretty cool when I was there almost two decades ago, but it's very spread out -- a hard place to see on foot.
