Default Overnighting in Melbourne Airport

Hi all,
I'm planning on going to Melbourne soon for some spotting, and was wondering if you can stay overnight in either the International or Domestic terminals? I don't care if its not particularly comfortable, just whether or not we'll get kicked out for photographing or sleeping there that late.
Thanks

Not sure about MEL, but in Adelaide the terminal is locked around 2300 and re-opens about 0430.

I have seen people "sleeping " outside around 0200.

In YMML the fingers are locked off and they kick you out of the domestic terminals.

As for international its open 24/7 so good luck!

The 01:15 Virgin Blue flight MEL-DRW starts next week, so you should have access to the Virgin Blue pier until then, OK to spot the later international departures :
EK407 21:30
EY461 22:15
QF029 22:50
FJ930 23:25
TG980 23:30
CX168 23:55
MK943 00:05 (some days)
SQ218 00:05
MH128 00:15
D72723 00:45 (some days)
EK409 02:55, but will have to see this from somewhere else
Thats it until QF010 arrives at 04:45

Enjoy your stay

why in your right mind would you want to sleep in an airport terminal when there is a ~$60 motel about 5 minutes walk away?
