If you focus in on Sydney you will see right away which way aircraft are operating. North, South or even East/West sometimes.

Thanks. I have looked at it, but Flight Radar 24 is not a free App, making it hard to justify the cost for an 'occasional' spotter such as myself. Apart from that, it would have been a good service.

Globe.adsb looks okay and gives info in real-time.

Thanks again.
