Just a question to anyone who might know. Will the QF A380 arriving Sunday be equipped with ADS-B transponder?

I would like to track the aircraft into Sydney using PlanePlotter but won't waste my time trying to if it is not appropriately equipped.

I would assume an aircraft as new as this would be equipped with ADS-B but you never know.

Indeed they will. All A380s, 787s and the remaining 737-800s and A330-200 are scheduled to be delivered with compliant ADS-B transmit capabilities.
