I came to the conclusion it was January 2008, on a Friday. Based on
rubbish bin out and emptied for someone I know is a Friday collection,
status of the V8 track build (no race markings whatsoever on road, so
before the first races, but the pit lane has been constructed), status
of The Base (Heathcotes hasn't even started being built), and empty
churches and schools.

It has to be before about 20 Jan 2008, because the pool [1] suffered an unfortunate lawnmower attack around that date. (And I'm pretty sure I see a yellow-rope fence, which probably puts it after Christmas.)
