Exactly what i was looking for, thanks David!

Just a question, say an acft took off from Rwy 24, it would be heading off in a direction to the left of the diagram there?

not necessarily, depends on its destination...the Ozjet you saw went off 21, Qantas 738 went off 24 and made a very early left turn so its probably headed back east.

Ahh, that would explain that i could only just see the ozjet and take a guess on the livery, but the Malaysian 777 i saw flew directly over my head (school is in claremont btw)

by that time of the day they were coming off 21...anyways, the SID for most Asian destinations sees aircraft routinely fly over that area enroute to Singapore & KL.

Looked like it wasn't yet high enough to make a turn.

They used to make the turn around Carousel area when departing 21.... Loved it then since I stayed near there and could get those banking shots of the heavies!
