Spotting Help

HI, My kids are shouting me my first trip to Sydney so i can watch planes all day I am staying at the Stamford Plaza 12th floor with airport views so should be great. MY ? is i have seen a lot of photos taken from " the Beach" and i am wondering how difficult is it for me to get from the hotel to there. Can i walk or a bus maybe, or last resort a cab. Is it far? I am really looking forward to the trip to get a chance to see some great planes as i only get 737 & a320 at my local airport.One last ? do any a380's arrive or depart on fridays? Thanks heaps.
