If people want to play the game here I'll ask that they post the fare rule code, to see if origin to destination is a single fare or multiple fare components. That can be found at the changeable/nonrefundable hyperlink on the reservation & price screen, and then by clicking FARE RULE SUMMARY.
Yesterday I was looking at a business DTW-(LAX)-SYD-(LAX)-DTW and it priced at a princely 930K, with a single fare FARE CODE - CSY4650 each way. That was the lowest pricing throughout December.
I suspect the OP's example to DPS is a combination of two fares in each direction, maybe a CSM700 as JFK-SYD + SYD-DPS.
