Connecting flights with separate tickets in Zurich Airport times

Hi everyone,

I have a eurotrip I'm finishing planning, the last destination depends whether I can pull this off. I am departing Zurich airport on an Etihad flight to Sydney at 11:25. Before this I was planning to visit Tallinn, Estonia. My plan was to depart Tallinn on the day of the Etihad flight with AirBaltic. That flight is scheduled to leave Tallinn at 6:00 and arrive at Zurich at 9:10. These are going to be on separate tickets.

My question is, is this connection doable? Assuming Etihad closes their checkin/bag drop 1 hour before the flight and the AirBaltic flight arrives on time, would an hour and 15 minutes be enough time to clear immigration and customs? I understand Estonia is part of the schengen but I'm using my Australian passport so I'm not sure on how the procedure will work. According to reviews AirBaltic is very good with punctuality, and I am familiar with Zurich airport so I should be able to make my way to the checkin counters without difficulty

Let me know what you guys think.
