Default Sunday YSSY - Advice needed

Hello All,

Im going to YSSY this weekend with a few friends and looking to get some good shots,

Probably from about 12pm onwards. Just wondering anything that stands out, and where the best places are.

Sheps, beach etc

Thankyou all

The other complication is that 25 could be in use (as it is at present), given the westerlies, in which case Barton Park would be good for takeoffs.

I wonder if they send the A380 off on 25 - that would be a sight to see. I noticed a couple of 744s earlier - just like the banner on a certain airliner photos website!

I overheard the refuellers talking about an A380 going off RWY25 this morning, though I don't know which one it was (we face the other direction here)...

I'd say it's the EK one, SQ has been it's usual boring self this morning, besides the fact it was late and Asiana took it's usual bay! Must be fun bussing an A380 load of pax from the remote bays...

I was working at Clovelly today and was shocked when I saw A QF A330-200 come in low,
How long has 25/07 been open since its upgrade??

How does one get from the Domestic terminal to the International terminal?
I will be flying into Sydney this week domestically, with no international connection, however I would like to make use of the observation deck there.

Other then the train, is there a 'free' shuttle service between the two main terminals?
