The ever changing face of Sydney Airport

Just on the new Internatonal carpark .. why the hell WOULDN"Tt they build a pedestrian overpass from the carpark to the terminal instead of making pedestrians cross over the road (at the lights) and holding up vehicular traffic and adding to the congestion already caused by the poorly designed roads.. ..and to make matters worse they have put another pedestrain crossing up in the depatures level ... I guess they might start charging people to cross the road soon ..... Macquarie$$$$$$$$

Sorry to bump this back to the top, but I believe this mornings fog was the first time the recently commissioned (19th December 2008) transmissometers have been used in anger in place of traditional RVR's.

It was pretty dense fog this morning...that doesn't surprise me.

I was up at Qantas drive from 6.30-8.15, and you couldn't see the airfield for most of that time! And especially eariler in the piece, some of the birds were coming through some pretty dense fog, and making their prescence known quite late. Did manage to get a few excellent shots with the fog!
