Well done Richard, interesting stuff.

I'm yet to spot a Loon balloon, but I have this other little by-hobby
of trying to spot aircraft as far away as I can. The good thing about
Sydney is the number of flights that go straight over at high altitude
enroute between other cities, such as Singapore to Auckland, or even
Brisbane to Launceston.

The ones coming from QLD to Tas I can spot when they're up around
Wollombi (90 Km away), and QF93 from Melbourne to LA I've spotted
131 Km away, mainly because it's usually higher (38,000 ft) and out over the ocean.

I know, pretty sad, but it is interesting!

Cheers,
Jason.
