I have done this a few times myself, however staying the day in MEL. A very fun day indeed, mainly for the flight! The turn around time I think could be kept to quite a minimum (assuming you're staying in the terminal), with quick check in on the kiosk and through security. Too easy.
As for the 767RR aircraft, the schedule on SYD-MEL i find is completely random, so I guess it's just luck of the day.
