As advised by another poster your luggage will checked through, so at SYD go through the International Connections security check. DO NOT take the escalator up, but look for the lift, which is over to the right. This will take you up 2 floors to where the QF lounges are. As you are on the 747, then this means you will have about an hour to have breakfast and get refreshed for the leg to LAX.
