Interesting puzzle. That is a lot of SC's. First thing that pops to mind is head to HNL on FJ via MEL-SYD-NAN-HNL then do two runs to the Caribbean and you should get there. for I assume about 3500-4000 in airfare + hotels on the way

That is a lot of SCs to get in a short time.

I need just under 6,000 SCs to get to Lifetime Gold and I want to get it sooner rather later as I believe there are drastic "enhancements" to Platinum in the very near future while "Gold" will actually more enahncemets to compete with Velocity Gold.

What is your Budget?

A Business class oneworld explorer fare ex NZ for around $10K may get over 2000 of those SC's. You might like to consider that as a base.

Another other option would be to investigate "Instant Upgrade" or other relatively inexpensive premium cabin fares in North America.

Currently SC's can readily be had for under $4 - much less in some cases. e.g. Some AA marketed flights on AS metal between Washington State and California.
