This is a scene I would not think to shoot if using a 50-mm lens. It's interesting how a lens would shape one's observation.
The M5 Motorway is a 30-kilometre-long (19 mi) motorway located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that is designated with the M5 route and forms part of the Sydney Orbital Network. The M5 route number comprises two separate parts, separately owned and operated.
The original section that opened in 1992 is titled M5 South-West Motorway and is a toll road operated by Interlink Roads. Its southwestern terminus is south of an interchange near Prestons where the M5 meets the Westlink M7 and the M31 Hume Motorway. The M5 South-West Motorway eastern terminus is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the east at an exit junction with King Georges Road at Beverly Hills.
The M5 continues east as the 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) and untolled NSW Government-owned M5 East Motorway that includes substantial tunnels, opened in 2001 to connect with General Holmes Drive (M1) at Kyeemagh.
A third section of the motorway, referred to as the New M5, is currently under construction, having started in mid 2016, with completion expected in early 2020. This segment, part of the WestConnex project will link to an upgraded King Georges Road interchange on the existing M5 East at Beverly Hills and continue along a separate 11 km (6.8 mi) route via twin tunnels to St Peters.

It is October 1942 and the location is Long Beach California USA and in an aircraft manufacturing plant a US Army Air Corps C-47 is under construction and it would be registered and No. 6021 and would later be allocated 41-18660 which was its US serial number.
Arriving at Archerfield (QLD) in January 1943 the C-47 was assigned to the Fifth Air Force which at time was operating in Australia.
With the war rapidly coming to an end it became obvious that a large number of aircraft would be surplus to needs and to counter this loss the Australian Government gained permission from the Far East Air Services Command to immediately release three aircraft and a further nine aircraft on conclusion of hostilities.
In June 1946 the three aircraft were officially transferred to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) from the newly formed Australian National Airline Commission (ANAC).
The now named “Hawdon” VH-AES flew the first passenger flight for Trans Australia Airlines (TAA) from Melbourne to Sydney on 9th September 1946 departing at 6.00am.
From September 1946 – June 1959 the “Hawdon” serviced TAA predominately in Queensland until 26th June 1959 when it was withdrawn from service.
Following an extensive restoration to flying condition and refurbishment the aircraft flew from Melbourne to Lae on 12th August 1960 to become the first TAA aircraft to fly to New Guinea.
It was whilst it was in New Guinea that the aircraft was given a new livery in Sunbird colours and a new registration VH-SBA.
On 7th June 1970 the aircraft was yet again withdrawn from service when in Brisbane between June 1971 – August 1971 it was again restored to flying condition.
The aircraft was flown to Melbourne on 9th September 1971 where it once again flew the Melbourne Sydney Melbourne route to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the inaugural flight.
On 19th July 1973 the aircraft was again withdrawn from service from Air Nuigini who were loaned the aircraft in October 1971.
The aircraft would remained parked at Melbourne Airport unceremoniously beside a fence until it was once again refurbished but this time it was used as a static display where it was suspended from an arch in the Melbourne Airport car park on 13th December 1979.
It would be removed on 29th April 1987 where it was once again parked against the fence.
Volunteers from Australian Airlines staff began to restore the aircraft to flying condition in January 1988 and on 9th September 1988 6 of the original 21 passengers from the original flight flew a commemorative flight celebrating the 42nd anniversary of the first flight.
Today the “Hawdon” is in its new and more permanent home at HARS located at Albion Park and it represents a fascinating insight into Australia’s aviation history.

I had an opportunity to explore the construction site for the future city centre and captured a few interesting perspectives.
