Personal aircraft noise blog;

Lunch with friends on the Southbank 100 meters from the pad. Saw one movement as we crossed the Yarra but nothing whilst we ate, from noon to when we left at 2pm.

Afternoon lunch before an IMAX movie in exhibition gardens, outside exhibition building. 45 minutes or so, exposed to the threat of aircraft noise.
A vintage fixed wing and a robbo 44.
Sound of kids shouting in the park and a harley were louder.

By the way, the IMAX movie "Living in the Age of Airplanes" commences at Melbourne IMAX feb 8th.
Highly recommended, not a 10/10 but a solid 8/10.

If you haven't seen it, catch "Beautiful Planet" shot from the International Space station on the same day.

Both movies describe or implicitly reveal a real world view of the benefits of aviation that may temper the negative views of some East melbourne residents.
