About
Wellington Point, QLD.
Photography is evolution. One arrives early, before sunset and shoots well into the night, you watch the tide go from high to low, you feel the warmth in the sun dissolve and you watch the colours of the night sky develop before your eyes, and the entire time you’ve been traveling through time…. Time is Photographic.
Enjoy.

About the Brisbane Airport
Brisbane Airport (IATA: BNE, ICAO: YBBN) is the sole passenger airport serving Brisbane and the third busiest in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne Airports. Located in the suburb with the same name, the airport serves the city of Brisbane and the surrounding metropolitan area.
It is a hub for Virgin Blue and its low cost international subsidiary Pacific Blue Airlines and a secondary hub for both Qantas and its low cost subsidiary Jetstar. It is part of the Brisbane–Sydney air route, which is the eleventh busiest passenger air route in the world, and the seventh busiest in the Asia-Pacific region.
Brisbane Airport is home to Qantas’ heavy 767-300 maintenance facility and from early 2010, heavy maintenance work on the Airline’s A330 fleet will be carried out at the facility. Virgin Blue has a smaller maintenance facility at the Airport, where line-maintenance on the Airline’s 737 fleet is performed. Other airlines, namely QantasLink and Alliance also conduct maintenance at their respective facilities at the Airport.
The airport has international and domestic passenger terminals, a cargo terminal, a General Aviation terminal and apron as well as two runways. Brisbane Airport is accessible from the central business district by the Gateway Motorway and the Airtrain rail service, which is linked to the Citytrain suburban network. The new Airport Link motorway is planned to connect the Brisbane CBD and airport.
The airport was awarded the IATA Eagle Award in 2005, the second of only two Australian airports to receive such award. Brisbane Airport was voted the best airport in the Australia-Pacific region and the airport with the friendliest staff in the world in the 2008 Skytrax World Airport Awards. In 2009 it was voted the best airport in Australia and again won the friendliest staff award for the Asia Pacific region. The International terminal has also won the Queensland architecture award. In 2010 it was again voted the best Australian Airport by Sktrax and made the worlds top 25 airports.
