The shortest flight time is about 14 hours from Sydney to Los Angeles.

However, because of the change in time zones, you would actually arrive from 3 to 5 hours before you left. You will gain a day crossing the International Date Line, making Los Angeles 18 hours earlier than Sydney (either 17 or 19 hours depending on Daylight Savings Time).

You would lose this time on the return to Sydney, where some flights from the US will arrive "two days" after the day they take off!
It depends where you are COMING FROM.
