Now outgoing, all that is available is Christmas day, and back is the 13th of Jan..
If you can find someone to trade with that has AA miles, AA/Qantas have 3 seats available on Dec 9 or 11 AUS-MEL with quite a few different routings, and 2 seats on the 10th. After those two dates the next available flights are not until Jan 1. If you originate at LAX, there are 19 dates with flights in December for 2 or 3 passengers LAX-MEL. Have not looked at the return dates, but can check for you (just ask).
AA charges 75K for RT in economy from the U.S.
