So have to work out how to get from airport to there?

I still haven't decided. I was hoping some other Brisbanites would come in with their ideas.

The forecast looks ok for Brisbane so far.

That looks ok actually.
Check out this street view
Big ugly bridge in the way but it might be good
Check out the panoramio photos on that street view, could be nice.

Also check out the attached view from sceneplanner.com - shows my Canon 40D with a 17-70mm lens @17mm, and the green line is the direction of the Moon Set.

So I should be able to fit the city plus the Moon.

I think that's my preferred spot unless someone can show me a better one.

And it's close to the city too so will be good to get to where I need to afterwards, and getting to the lookout at 4am!
