Unfortunately, many of the spots at Sydney Airport require a car to get to. You can, however, take an Airport Link train from the city or a route 400 Sydney Bus (originating at Bondi) to the International or Domestic terminals and from there walk to many of the northern and eastern spots. The 25 Threshold and the Helicopter Area are an easy 15-20 minute walk from the Domestic Terminal, and a further 10 minutes takes you to Shep's Hill. The Qantas Drive spot is relatively close to the International Terminal, but try to cross over to the correct side of Qantas Drive directly in front of the short-term carpark to avoid a somewhat difficult crossing of Qantas Drive itself. Walk through the carpark, away from the terminal building and to the left of the large office building, and you'll find a red-brick crossing and a path going under the road. Turn right and follow the footpath to the 16R approach. The International Terminal Observation Deck is the only very easy spot to get to without a car - take one of the aforementioned means of public transport to the International Terminal. The route 410 Sydney Bus (also from Bondi) stops at the Qantas Jetbase, but skips both the International and Domestic terminals. | Unfortunately, many of the spots at Sydney Airport require a car to get to.
