Welcome to FT and the friendly QF forum, SQ772!

I don't have the answer to this question but someone else here might. However, this link gives you a lot of information:

Check-in opens 3 hours before departure. So you can check in at 2pm and leave.

You will have to wait until three hours before departure for QF to open the flight.

Poor you!

I'd like to know if frequent travelers on QF to SIN and SYD have experienced otherwise?
Of course you can leave the airport. I think what QF means is that you can't leave the airport once you have gone through immigration and security.

Happy flying!
