$493 for Y with a chance of J? For about $500 you can buy sufficient AA miles for a confirmed one-way J award seat BNE-PER, plus fees/taxes of $75.
Edit- back on topic, if using AA miles for a SYD-PER J seat you now need to be extra careful not to waste your $575 on a ridiculous Y-style middle seat in the new domestic "business" cabin of VH-EBO.
