"shep's mound"

[Bob C]

"Shep's Mound " is the commonly used term to describe the area near the Sydney Airport Control Tower where spotters congregate.

But does this area have an official name or how could its location be more correctly described - ie adjacent to Runway ???

How about "next to the control tower?"

Don't you hate it when you go to add a smart comment and it ends up with a typo and doesn't have anywhere near the impact you hoped it would?

This is a serious question and it would be helpful to know how to correctly describe the area.

If "adjacent to the Control Tower" is the best description, so be it.

The reason for my question will be revealed in the the fullness of time !!

It doesn't have a formal name, it's just part of Kingsford Smith Airport, Mascot.

It's inside Lot 8 of Deposited Plan 1050923 if it helps, but that's a lot more than Shep's Hill.

That is the easiest way I can think of describing it as it is about 50 metres from the control tower.

Thanks Michael.
