That dates the image to at least 2 years ago. If it was last year's visit of the QE2 to Sydney, the Queen Mary 2 could be found
tied up a mile or so east of QE2 at the Navy base.
It wasn't the 2005 visit, because it was overcast then (I have pictures of the QE2 I took 9th Feb 2005 showing the cloud).
So my guess is that the Google Earth images date to February 2006.
