Thousands flock to vantage points to watch the end of an era
Thousands of people watched the very last Qantas 747 fly on her final passenger flight, soaring over the nation's capital for the last farewell joy flight from Canberra.
The flight saw the aircraft out of Canberra Airport heading North and then to the West to take in the sites of the Snowy Mountains, passing over Tumut, Talbingo, Kiandra, Mount Kosciusko, Jindabyne and Cooma before approaching Canberra from the south passing Woden flying over Parliament House, down Anzac Parade, over the War Memorial and towards Mount Ainslie.
She then flew down the length of Lake Burley Griffin and looped back for one final stretch down the lake to give everyone stationed shore-side a second look, before returning to the airport.
