Location	The Beach is loacted to the east of the old control tower. Travelling west on General Holmes Drive take the left exit just before the old control tower (stay in lane 2 until just past where lane 1 exits to the M5 expressway and tunnel). Travelling east, take the left exit opposite the old control tower, turn hard left and follow the road under the bridge to the old control tower car park. It is a short walk from the car park to the perimeter fence at the eastern end of the beach.

Equipment	A five step ladder is required to photograph above the perimeter fence. Airport security pass by reqularly and will make you move your ladder back 3 metres from the fence.
Photography	Excellent photography in the afternoons, with mainly heavy jets passing close by on taxiway Alpha for Runway 34L.
