Hey Mr 'T',

Whilst sitting at Sydney ATS Centre, we could see contrails in the setting sun to the 'far' west, travelling N / S and E / W , and we knew by the E/W ones that they were over Griffith (NSW) which is approx 260nm west of SY... the N/S ones transiting Melbourne / Brisbane....Had it not been for the Great Dividing Range to the West of SY, elevation approx 3,400ft AMSL, then we might have got further.....

Cheers
