It was also described as "Australia's most residential airport".

Does the direction and drift of the smoke indicate a crosswind (from the right) that became a tail wind as the aircraft "turned" to the left?

There has been large numbers of engineers and workmen along that fence line over the past six months, excavating the slope for the freeway widening. The aircraft came to rest next to a temporary safety fence.
