Default Fence

Sounds very extreme having an electric fence.

I am guessing spots like shep's mound will be useless. If so there is little point saving up for a trip to SYD.

Next time i'm down at the airport I will see if I can read those small yellow signs, but i think we can all more or less guess what they will say "Touch for a free BBQ" is my guess.

Ryan I think there are still some good spots to shoot from, it will really only effect the beach, Qantas drive has now for a long time been a no-no for photos if you pull up with a car, unless your shooting approach on the other side than that's ok. Shep's mound will still be ok if you stand on the actual mound, but let's face it that spot has being detiorating for a while now, with light post, storage areas and other obstacles.

We will evolve and keep finding new spots, we always do.

Morris

P.S.- Sorry I forgot 25 threshold, when new fence go up GOONE.

I'm guessing you're being a little pesimistic, and just maybe a touch negative...

Why not wait and see, make the trip to Syd, and most importantly judge for yourself! There's no point moping about something you can't change or fix.

Is the top level of the Marrickville Metro shopping centre car park still available for photography?
I've never been there but heard it was OK. I suppose you can get refreshments there.

Yeah you can get up to Marrick-a-ville Metro... view of approaches is ok, you may get some funny looks from the locals if you rock up with a big lens tho...

So who is building that structure opposite the road there..... (River side) So we can get above that ridiculous fence.

Police state BS,

Can anyone here or from any law enforcement authority show where the bad guys crossed a reasonable boundary fence to attack an airport or aircraft?

Nuh, didn't think so.... the bad guys walk in through the front door and go through check in and the joke that passes for security just like everyone else!!

Mind you, after the couple of recent incidents at Heathrow by protesters, it may be worth ensuring against the 'embarrassment' factor.
