At LAX, Air Canada uses terminal 2. Qantas doesn't. And there's no airside like there is in many airports. You have to do immigration (both ways) because you go to the street side, out of one terminal and into another, then back through security.

Now, if you're lucky, your departure might be from T4. A couple of Qantas flights leave from there. But normally, we unfortunates get the Tom Bradley Int'l Terminal. Yay. (sarcasm, but deserved). I've seen lines here pretty quick, but just as often right out the terminal door. I wouldn't risk TBIT with 2 hours myself, personally. And I've gone through here a few times.

Coming back, you will definitely arrive in TBIT and go back to T2 on the streetside. Immigration and all that. But at least it's a lot easier to get out of TBIT than in.

Here's a terminal map I've used.

ps - we're booked in November for the A380 from LAX to MEL (return from SYD if we return at all). First time for us too. I'm excited. Well, as much as possible for being shut up in a flying tin can for 16 hours.
