I guess it is possible and it is certainly reasonable. I had a connection time of 1:05 some month ago and there was no hassle at all, I even had a (quite short) shower in the Pier.

You just need to make sure that your baggage is checked to DEL in SYD. If you bought 2 seperate tickets for the QF and CX flights this is still possible if they can see your CX ticket in SYD (You probably know that - I am just mentioning this because I had a similar problem when I was flying into HKG on NH and out of HKG on CX: my CX ticket was an e-ticket, so the NH agent had to call the CX call center to confirm that I really had a ticket for the flight out of HKG before he could check my bags...)

But as QF and CX are both OW there should be no problem, you might even get your CX BP in SYD.
