Best time to travel
Sydney in November enters Australian spring (good weather), while Los Angeles enjoys pleasant autumn. November is a solid calendar choice. Avoid peak tourist seasons (Christmas, school holidays) if you want tighter fares. May to September in the Northern Hemisphere (California summer) tends to push prices up from any origin.
What to do in Los Angeles
Once you land at LAX, explore beaches (Santa Monica, Venice), hike Griffith Observatory, nightlife in West Hollywood, and shopping in Beverly Hills. LA is a perfect base for California exploration: rent a car if you have a valid licence and road trip. No single city centre: everything is spread out, so plan routes by neighbourhood.
