Lowest LAX-MEL fare for longer stay?

Can anyone point me to a source of lowest fares from LAX to Melbourne? I
going before December 8th and want to stay three months or longer.

Might a round-the-world ticket work out to be cheaper that the LAX-MEL
roundtrip for long stay? I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

Hmm... try Japan Airlines. They always seem to be the cheaper than
Qantas and Air Canada, whenever I plan a trip down under.
