Qu... Qu... Qantas. Definitely Qantas.

As newly anointed residents of the Eastern Suburbs (or eBurbs as I call it) we've noticed the consistent amount of air traffic flying overhead. The largest airport in Oz is Kingsford Int'l, which is only a few suburbs Southwest of us. A vast majority of these plans are various shapes and sizes of the Qantas fleet (why the missing U in that name?) and occur from about 6am to 11pm. Surprisingly, there is not much noise (at least to someone with hearing aids) and it isn't very disturbing for the most part.

Another cool quirk is the way the Southern distributor freeway goes directly under the main runway of the airport. We've experienced this once and hope to get a pic of it next time, but when you're driving along and a 747 rolls above you on the overpass is a pretty surreal experience.

Being in the flight path does, however, remind us how far away we are. We hope that we will be know someone on an incoming flight soon.

Waves in Bronte looked fantastic this morning.
