Qantas plane turning around.
Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport (Mascot Airport, Kingsford Smith Airport, or Sydney Airport;) is an international airport located 8 km (5 mi) south of Sydney city centre, in the suburb of Mascot. It is the primary airport serving Sydney, and is a primary hub for Qantas, as well as a secondary hub for Virgin Australia and Jetstar Airways. Situated next to Botany Bay, the airport has three runways, colloquially known as the east–west, north–south and third runways.
Sydney Airport is both the longest continuously operated commercial airport and oldest commercial international airport in the world, the world's oldest continually operating commercial airport, and the busiest airport in Australia. Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport, sits on northwestern side of Botany Bay. Two runways of the airport extend into the bay.
Botany Bay, an open oceanic embayment, is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 13 km (8 miles) south of the Sydney central business district.
Botany Bay has its source in the confluence of the Georges River at Taren Point and the Cooks River at Kyeemagh and flows 10 km (6 mi) to the east before meeting its mouth, the Tasman Sea, midpoint between La Perouse and Kurnell.
The total catchment area of the bay is approximately 55 km2 (21 sq mi) and the area surrounding the bay is generally managed by Roads and Maritime Services. Despite its relative shallowness, the bay serves as greater metropolitan Sydney's main cargo seaport, located at Port Botany, with facilities managed by Sydney Ports Corporation.
Botany Bay National Park is located on the northern and southern headlands of the bay.
On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the continent of Australia. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony. Out of these plans came the first European habitation of Australia at Sydney Cove. Even though the penal settlement was almost immediately shifted to Sydney Cove, for some time in Britain transportation to "Botany Bay" was a metonym for transportation to any of the Australian penal settlements.
The first container terminal at Port Botany, to the east of the airport, was completed during the 1970s, and is the largest container terminal in Sydney. A second container terminal was completed during the 1980s and bulk liquid storage facilities are located on the northern and southern edge of the bay. A third container terminal was completed in 2011.
The western shores of the bay feature popular swimming beaches including Brighton-Le-Sands and Lady Robinsons Beach and is a popular spot for boating and watersports.

Made it to Botany Bay today. We went to Mermaids Chair. It's a really
cool beach and we had it to ourselves most of the day. The down side
is you have to park at the guard shack at the entrance of Botany Bay
and walk about 2 miles down to the beach. The walk down is not bad,
nice paved roads, but the walk up.....OMG. Thankfully a guy in a truck
leaving one of the building sites stopped and gave us a ride up. I
have lots of pics, so look for the next post once we get home. :-)

What a great evening this was for photos, beautiful light, and after a week of dreadful weather.

Yes, I have a fisheye lens (M42-fit Zenitar 16mm). Yes, I've been using it a lot. yes, it's great fun, but I'm guessing I'll have to limit my use of it a bit, otherwise it will get stale quite quickly :)
