Ambitious return trip from Germany to Australia [closed]

Long story short, I plan to leave my accomodation in Freiburg im Breisgau after 6 p.m. local time on Friday, February 15th. My goal is to get to Sydney or Melbourne by Sunday morning (i.e. before 12 p.m. local time), then catch another flight to Adelaide.
I am open to crazy travel ideas that may help me achieve this goal.
There is an Emirates flight to Melbourne departing Frankfurt at 8:30 p.m., and eventually arriving 6:30 a.m. However, it seems impossible to get from Freiburg to Frankfurt within the specified time range. I am open to a variety of alternative options.

Another option, departing from Basel Euroairport:
- Bus from Freiburg to Basel Euroairport: 18:00 - 18:57
OR
- Train Freiburg to Basel SBB: 18:12 - 18:54
- Bus from Basel SBB to Basel Euroairport: 19:05 - 19:22 (there's one earlier, but you probably won't make it).
THEN
- Basel Euroairport - Munich: 20:30 - 21:30 (LH)
- Munich - Hong Kong: 22:30 - 16:40+1 (LH)
- Hong Kong - Adelaide: 00:15+2 - 11:40+2 (CX)
The check-in/bag drop deadline at Basel is 19:50.
Yet another one, leaving from Frankfurt:
- Train Freiburg - Mannheim: 18:57 - 20:24
- Train Mannheim - Frankfurt Airport: 20:36 - 21:06
- Frankfurt - Hong Kong: 22:15 - 16:15+1 (LH)
- Hong Kong - Adelaide: 00:15+2 - 11:40+2 (CX)
This one is probably not doable if you have hold luggage, as the check-in/bag drop deadline is at 21:15.
The best option is still probably the one via Zurich.
