A330 low over Erskine Park/St Clair

Just about 2 mins before typing this, an A330 (identity unknown due to sun glare) just flew over my house pretty low. It was moving quite slow, heading in a general ENE direction towards Prospect.

Any idea of what it could be? Because its very unusual for a commercial airliner to fly eastbound over my house. Usually, all the big airliners are heading West/NW bound tracking towards Katoomba or Richmond and are climbing.

Cheers

It was most probably the GA712 , a A332 , which was overhead your area at that time inbound SYD ..

David is right - Garuda A330 according to the Webtrak.

Set the time at 7:33 and you will see it

Cheers so much Sarah and David. Both of you were spot on

Definitely would have been the Garuda A332...i thought i saw a hint of blue but I couldn't quite tell because of the sun glare.

I just thought it unusual because like i mentioned in my original post, this was the first time i've seen an a/c flying this particular heading at quite low altitude (i.e. apart from the usual little GA planes heading in towards Prospect and BK).

Cheers once again
