Regarding this Post on Spotting Places, I will be flying in from Riverina and would like to know if the International terminals' viewing balcony is open for somebody with a Zoom Lens and DSLR?
Some security people just don't like harmless people with 'big camera gear' around their necks......

I'm a new member so go easy on me, Ive only been Spotting and photographing aircraft around the world etc for 60yrs.

Scoti, plane geeks turn up at the observation deck all the time with long lenses, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Last I heard he was in Italy if you're keen Nigel

Exactly, just leave the Russian military uniform at home and you will be fine.

This whole topic has made me wonder if we can start a type of "Spot that planespotting location" game. Just submit a photo from a designated plane spotting location somewhere in Australia, or the world (with a bit of a background teaser), and see who can pick the location. Could be fun. Maybe.

I know this is an old thread, but you used to be able to walk from the tower mound to the bank above General Holmes Drive. I think this is where that shot was taken, like this one of mine.

As mentioned previously Steve, that shot was taken from atop of Damien's car at the mound.

Wow, that's dedication (or is it professionalism?) for you!
