To solve your Middle East problem you'll have to buy some extra flights, probably the cheapest way would be to buy an RJ ticket DXB-AMM-CAI (the scheduling looks nice for this too); this makes your LONE5 look like:
SYD-AYQ-PER-NRT-HKG-PEK,HKG-DEL,BOM-BKK,SIN-HKG-JNB-MRU-JNB-VFA,DAR-LHR-THR,CAI-BCN-IST-MAD-CCS,EZE-SCL-IPC-SCL-SYD
However, bear in mind:
- This LONE5 has 22 segments so it is clearly not valid, you would need to remove a couple (eg. start ex-PER and buy the Australian sectors)
- There are five segments in Asia, if you keep all five you will have to pay the extra AUD200
