That take-off was on Runway 17 at Canberra.
The length of Runway 35/17 is now 3283m with a displaced threshold on Runway 35 "unless operationally required".
However it was only about a year ago that the length was extended from 2683m to 3283m.
Judging from the runway markings in the picture I think it was probably taken a couple of years ago.
Judging from the windsock in the picture it looks like a light crosswind which did not favour one runway over the other.
However there are hills to the north of Runway 35 so I can see why they chose to use Runway 17.
