Hi Gareth,
You are a 100% with the sun from early arvo until dusk.
Guess we should be happy with a fine day!
I assume you may have to go to the northern end (across the Princes freeway though)

You would certainly see the big stuff from there. I wouldnt feel comfortable in telling you of other details. I have never came in from the west to the airshow, so I cant advise on this one.
I will be interested to hear of our friends who will have better knowledge on this than me.
All of the roads that I know of near Avalon on the these airshows days are "taken over" for traffic management.
I believe they in general are getting it better. It was a bit of a hassle to say the least a few years ago.
However this is conducive to "the show is over" we all want to go home at the same time. We arrive in dribs & drabs.....
The airshow is NOT the only venue to have this happen of course.
Here's hoping for a good day.
Enjoy!
Kind regards,
Geoff
