Brisbane was visited in the morning of 10Jul, between 1000-1200lt. Best place is the official spotterarea at Acaciastreet. Take the Airport Drive, pass International Terminal, thereafter Domestic Terminal and on to General Aviation. At the end at your righthandside is the area, kind of a round road. Fence is a bit too high for photo's but a concrete square at the end is just enough to use the camera. Brisbane has 2 runways, the shortest sometimes used by smaller traffic, but all aircraft taxi along the spottersarea if they use RW19 for landing and take-off.
Worth a visit is the other side of the field, take the Airport Drive towards town, at the big roundabout follow Lomandra Drive and then on to the Maintenance area. Here you can find the stored Alliance Fokker 100's, Skywork Embraers and even RAAF DHC-4's as Australian Aviation does some maintenance for them here.
