Aircraft ID required

Evening all,
Hastily snapped this overflying YSSY, thence my place, around 1830 today. Forgive the quality but, as I said , was rushing to grab the shot before it disappeared back into the clouds.

Was hoping anyone could give me some ID. Am guessing it was heading to Richmond.

Thanks in advance...

As Steve confirmed, it's a Wedgetail: http://www.airforce.gov.au/Aircraft/Wedgetail.aspx

They're based at Williamtown.

Thanks for the replies. That's what I suspected. Any logs etc that I could use to ID it further? IE rego/serial?

Thanks again...
