I think the consensus will be we will need a bit more information about your actual travel plans (cabin advance purchase etc)
But in any case you will likely find that tickets bought in the USA will be less expensive than anything in the same fare class bought in Australia.
Also search for the threads in the American Airlines thread about "Platinum challenge". Which will be useful if you are going to being flying in economy.
Happy wandering
