A good alternative to Rydges is Int'l Staff Carpark Lvl 7 or 8 next door.
Rydges would be a better vantage point though, given it is about 2 levels higher and a better angle for the gate Qatar usually occupies.
Either park car on eastern side of airport and get train/bus (and pay for it) across to Int'l side, or park near Rowers Club at Wolli Creek and only about 10 minute walk, weather permitting.

A7-APE is scheduled to operate tomorrow's flight.

Qatar Airways have upgauged their Doha-Sydney service from a Boeing B77W to and Airbus A380, with the inaugural A380 service arriving around 7pm last night. A7-APE touchdown on Runway 16R,
then vacated onto Taxiway Alpha for the International 2 Apron and Gate 10. As always, the Qatar Airways aircraft are maintained in immaculate condition, and she looked beautiful in closeup approaching
the Gate.
