Question China Southern A380 en route to SYD (28 Feb) - why?

Right now there is a China Southern A380 - # CZ325 - REG B-6137 flying from Guangzho to Sydney.

The arrivals board at SYD shows 11 international flights arriving today (including CZ325).

Current arrival passenger caps into Sydney are 430 per day, thus around 39 pax per inbound aircraft.

Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas of why CZ would choose to fly an A380 for ~39 pax?

It isn't for cargo as 777 has more belly capacity than 380 (and far less fuel burn)

Thoughts?
