With storms continuing to batter Sydney (including a reported 1500 plus lightning strikes), it looks like the air crew on QF73, the 1755 hours SYD - SF) may have run out of hours. It has been rescheduled to a 1500 hours mid afternoon departure on Sunday 6 January for an estimated arrival in SFO at 0925 hours on Sunday, 21 hours late.
The 2035 hours QF74 on Saturday 5 from SFO has become a suggested 1135 hours Sunday 6 departure, 15 hours late - a nice time to leave if one isn't in a hurry - with anticipated SYD arrival 2105 instead of 0610 on Monday 7 January.
With the two nights of QF25 SYD - HND disruptions and other delays to QF27/28 SYD - SCL and return, those booked on B744 flights can expect delays at least until Monday 7, but it will vary markedly by route. JNB, for instance, may be unaffected: time will tell.

The expected delay to the 1700 hours SYD - SIN QF1 A388 has become departure at 2040 hours but that time was 10 minutes ago. The BOM site suggests that storms are not at Sydney Airport now but they're encircling the whole city.
