Booking under an EK number would earn 0 SC's.

So, maybe book the flight from Syd to Mel dep Syd 12.00 (noon), so it gives you some time to use the EK lounge.
I would use the QF F Lounge over the EK lounge.

EK407 is MEL-DXB direct on an A388.
EK405 is MEL-SIN-DXB on a 777.
EK409 is MEL-KUL-DXB on a 777.
