I'm trying to plan a trip to scout Australia for a possible re-location. I really don't have any idea on where I'd end up living, but it will probably be in one of the major metropolitan areas for employment. I'd like to go sometime in March for 10-14 days for scouting and some vacation. Hopefully I'll have some interviews set up by then.

I'd actually be looking to relocate 6-8 months from now (or sooner if job hunting goes well). Any suggestions for finding fares, places to stay/see/avoid, re-location advice, etc. will all be appreciated.

Best fare after a quick search is AA (Qantas code share) LAX-SYD for $940 US.

BTW, I am IT consultant/project manager if there are any Auzzie headhunters out there....

Be wary of ozstamps and tinkybelle, they are both committed Sydneyites. If you want civilty, sophistication, fine cuisine and outstanding theatre (OK Sydney has that too) then check Melbourne out. Salaries are higher in Sydney but so is the cost of living particularly real estate. You dont say what industry you are in. If it is IT I would be interested in seeing your CV. You can email it to me if appropriate, otherwise I can help you find the right potential employers in most industries.
