Default Unusual Flight Paths out of YSSY today

I noticed this morning from around 10:15 to at least 11:30 that planes on departure were flying almost overhead. I have lived in this house at Hurstville for 20+ years and have never planes flying this route before. On looking at Webtrack I noticed that after takeoff from 16R planes were making a sharp right hand turn to the west as soon as they were airborn. It almost looked as they were trying to avoid flying over Kurnell/ Cronulla.
Would anyone have an explanation - a new departure route, problems with 16R, etc?
Mind you I am not complaining, in fact it was great, I just hope it is a regular route in the future.
