First off the bat, sorry for the clickbait...at the moment!
Media here in Aus are saying the F-35 are soon to be en route, similar to the UK thread can we get some heads up?
I usually go fishing near / under the Williamstown flightpath so fancy going to get some photo's of their arrival.
Will need to borrow a decent camera though so any heads up would be good!

Waynos, who visits this thread quite often always gets great photo's, so maybe a pm to him might pay off for what type and any tips. I personally use a Canon, with Canon Telephoto. If you can get hold of a maybe a Canon 5D and a Canon 100-400 L series lens, you should get great results. But they aren't cheap
First two F-35A Joint Strike Fighters to land at Wiliamtown RAAF Base on December 10

Event of the Decade
On the 10th December 2018 at 10am the first two F-35A's will officially arrive at RAAF Base Williamtown. Following an F-18 handling demonstration the two F-35A aircraft will be joined by an F-18 for a coastal transit to showcase the aircraft to the people of Newcastle before returning to Williamtown for an official ceremony.
Expect large crowds, reduced speeds and increased traffic in the local area - particularly along Medowie Rd. The traffic management plan includes additional off base parking for visitors. The Air Force is recommending avoiding the area in the morning.
Fighter World will be open from 8am to accommodate additional parking, both the museum and observation deck will be open from that time. The new cafe at Fighter World will be open offering hot coffee, cold drinks and breakfast.
The recommendation for those visiting to witness this historical event is to arrive early to avoid the crowds and traffic congestion.
