Or, just throwing it out there, you can always grab a Burwood Bound route 400. Seeing as though it is about $3.20 for myself, it is the cheapest way to the International Airport next to walking. Also has a stop outside the Qantas Jet Base. If you catch the 400 towards Mascot (Bondi Jcn/Eastgardens Bound), you can then grab a 303 from the shops and hop off on General Holmes Drive near The Beach (The Beach is non-walkable due to the tunnel under the Runways). There is a Bus Stop there just after the Junction with the M5 on both sides of the road (But AFAIK none between Mascot and there which is any help to a Spotter). Walking to the mound is also do-able, and is quite a nice walk. The Carpark bus used to be free, and drops you nearby however not sure how useable it is now-a-days (Have not had a need to use it).

Now booked on QF1460. Tim, would you mind posting directions to the stairs you mentioned from Gate 17 in the Cityflyer terminal.

Alright mate you'll come out of Gate 17 past Hungry Jacks make a slight right turn as you'll follow everyone to baggage reclaim. Pass the big Chocolate Affair shop and the Travelex and go through the three glass doors out towards check-in and everyone will go down the escalators. Stay uptop and go outside where the car dropoff is and turn right and you can see the road will come in from the left. Just follow the path around towards T2 past the big "Qantas" logo. The staircase will be on your right hand side, you cant miss it and youll get that exact view.
