Plane spotting from my own back yard

It's been a while since I was able to plane spot from my home. Runway 19 has been the dominant runway in Brisbane. They changed to 01 on Monday but with the rain and low cloud, all I could do was listen to them as they flew past home. Well yesterday the rain stopped, and the clouds lifted, well a little anyway. So, I spent the morning outside catching the morning arrivals, and a few unexpected ferry flights.

As the morning went on many helicopters started flying over or around us. I would say these were here helping with flood rescue and power line inspections.
