They have flight planned via Parkes and Rivet so could easily continue onto the Wollongong area but may need a tailwind and the smell of an oily rag to get to Sydney! I thought that they may do a flyover of the harbour as well which could lend itself for a 25 arrival.
They have planned to fly at an groundspeed on 902 kph but have been around the low 800 kph for the last hour or so but have gone back up to 920 kph after turning a little more southerly over Kazakhstan.
When the first Project Sunrise flight from JFK was arriving in SYD I thought that ATC may give them a 25 arrival which would have saved 7 or 8 minutes of flight time in the circuit for 16R, especially after they were given priority over QF12 which was given a short vector for separation prior to commencing descent.
