Think of it the other way round, would you ever search for a flight from Melbourne to 'USA' you could end up on completely the other side of the continent!

You can also fly to Brisbane from the LAX on Qantas. V Australia has also announced (but not yet commenced) non-stop service to Brisbane.

(Technically the once-weekly Continental Micronesia flight from Guam to Cairns is also a direct flight from the U.S. to Australia, but I don't think that's much help here.)
