From another DPS-SYD-LAX, will Garuda check through the luggage onto a Delta flight?

But heres the larger issue-if they dont check your bag through-you 100% will NOT make this connection. Guaranteed 0%. I hate to break it to you but post-Covid the lines for INTL arrivals between 6-9am in SYD are ABYSMALLY long. It could easily be an hour from the time you land to get the time you get your bag and then youd have to get in the long ques at baggage exit.

Can be slow or quick processing immigration and customs/biosecuity. Just luck on the day
The time 06:00 to 09:00 is the busiest for international arrivals SYD arrivals (non official link) https://www.sydney-airport.net/syd-arrivals-terminal-1

At least 3:00hrs (some risk) If you book 4:00hrs a chance QF domestic checkin staff at T1 will offer you earlier flight, no matter what the ticket t&c's are. But not guaranteed
See from another of your posts are a group of 4.
Hope you enjoy your trip to Australia.
