Spotting at Sydney-Newbie

[Mike K]

Hi Everyone!

I'm really excited to be a member of the forums!

I'd just like to ask my fellow aviation enthusiasts a few questions as I'm heading to Sydney tomorrow. I'm flying to Sydney from Melbourne and back again, I'm taking TT508 on the way there and TT 657 on the way back. In essence, I am doing exactly what Brandon did with his trip reports.

Firstly, I was wondering if you might have any good suggestions for some spotting as I'm keen to try out my new Nikon D5200. Unfortunately, I only have the kit lens which is just 18-55mm. I was thinking that I could leave the Tiger T2 terminal and maybe walk to the international observation deck along Qantas Drive maybe. Or should I take the train there?

Also, what movements should I look out for tomorrow? Is there anything that I should consider?

This is my first time spotting in Sydney, and my first time with a real camera. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks for the help!
Mike
