What odds, however, that QF throws a Q400 at it? SYD-HBA for a 2100-ish arrival, overnight it, send it back at 0610 the next morning.

The Q4 may happen, but not with the pairing you suggest, because under CAO48, the earliest time the same crew can sign on is 0600 for an 0630 departure (assuming the overnighter arrives
pre 2100). If they get in post 2100, add 9 hours to get the earliest sign-on next day.
Flight planning takes 30 mins.
It would be
very unlikely for QLink to slip crews. They haven't for over 15 years.
So I'd suggest an 0630 departure ex HB
