Is it a bird? Is it a plane?...actually yes, it is a plane because down at Mascot, the biggest part of the suburb is the
Sydney International Airport
. Located south of the
CBD
, Mascot is a suburb that shares its boundaries with the busiest airport in Australia. While admiring the large Qantas planes take off and land as you browse around the many shops on Botany Road where the main shopping centre is. Or taking a stroll through L Estrange Park where the Mascot Kings (soccer team) or the Mascot Jets (rugby league team) maybe playing with the roar of the locals cheering them on.
A great heritage site in Sydney, Mascot used to be owned by the Aboriginal Kameygal people that lived off this area for thousands of years, using Botany Bay and the Alexandra Canal to their advantage for food and transport. Amazing aerial views of Sydney can be achieved in Mascot, and were not talking about your departure flight either,
Bondi
Helicopters operates from
Sydney International Airport
and provides you with the best, unrivalled views of the entire city from the sky. And you may even see Hugh Jackmans plane touching down as he returns to his hometown!! Located near Mascot is
