For those who are considering going to YWOL for the arrival, be advised that there are going to restrictions on where the public will be able to view the event from fencelines. The Illawarra Highway/Princes Highway intersection at the northern end will apparently be off limits, as will the Haywards Bay bridge near the Shell/Hungry Jacks and Tongarra Road at the southern end of Rwy 16/34.

One of the best viewing areas for seeing the arrival will most likely be the BMX track off Croom Road. I'd suggest getting there early as parking may be fairly limited and I'd expect a large crowd.

From the BMX track, the view to the north looks like this on a Canon EOS 7D (1.6X crop factor)...

Looking at these images, I hope the Council gives the runway markings a lick of paint before Sunday!!!
