Unusual approach QF164

[Philip Argy]

Noticed a B767 shortly after 10 am on a heading of about 250 crossing Cockatoo Island on its way up Sydney Harbour with wheels down. She then executed a tight left turn over Drummoyne and only became established on 16R quite close in over Leichardt.

Going by the time and a/c type I'm guessing it was QF 164 from Auckland but my question is how usual is that approach. I wish I'd had a camera as I don't usually see such a tight turn with wheels down so far south of the Parramatta River except with the Dash 8s.
