VH-ZNI (l/n 921) has been shown as "Parts Arriving" since 15th August, and VH-ZNL is listed at l/n 1019, which suggests a mid July 2020 delivery, unless it gets pushed up the list.

Qantas 787-9 Project Sunrise Research Flights

Re-purposed 787-9 delivery flights scheduled for October, November and December
On-board research to test ways of improving wellbeing on ultra long-haul flights
Made possible by carrying 40 people to increase aircraft range
Qantas has announced three ultra long-haul research flights to gather new data about inflight passenger and crew health and wellbeing.
The flights form part of planning for Project Sunrise – Qantas’ goal to operate regular, non-stop commercial flights from the east coast of Australia (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne) to London and New York.
The three flights over three months will use new Boeing 787-9s and re-route their planned delivery flights. Instead of flying empty from Seattle to Australia, the aircraft will simulate two Project Sunrise routes – London and New York to Sydney.

No new 789 orders announced in the results media releases, unfortunately. However, an interesting comment from the CEO relating to Project Sunrise:

Quote:
We know that Boeing and Airbus have aircraft that can do the job, and we have their best-and-final offers on the table – including a compelling offer from Boeing to deal with any delay to the 777X.
