It’s over a thousand Nautical Miles from New Zealand to Australia. Who knew.

Wikipedia says that Jetstream 31 has a range of about 680 Nautical Miles. After that, she would have to get out and walk.

That's with a full load. With 9pax the quoted range is 2130km (1150nm).

Wellington-Sydney (slightly longer than Blenheim-Sydney) is 2224 km.

So absent any significant headwind, it's possible
