Has anyone done a transfer from SFO international to domestic?

I'm flying JFK-SFO-SYD in a few weeks. JFK-SFO on AA lands at 7:45PM, presumably in T2. SFO-SYD on QF departs 10:25PM from the International Terminal (presumably gates 1-12). I've only flown SFO a few times - from what I can tell I have to clear security again but I would also like to visit the Centurion lounge if I have time (T3 near gate 74).
What's the best way to do this, clear security in T3 or the International Terminal?

You would have to clear security twice at SFO. The often crowded AMEX lounge is not worth it IMO.

Oh boy. I didn't realise the international concourses were separated. Thanks for the reply!

If you have Priority Pass, you can use it at the Air France Lounge in the A concourse (same as your departing flight). However, PP holders are admitted only at certain times: 0730-1130, 1530-1830, and 2030-2345. You could try getting in before 2030, but my experience and other reports are the the PP hour restrictions are rigidly enforced. Good luck.
