Today I revisited that site, got some new snaps, and also found another "open gate" to the domestic terminal apron and I managed to get quite a few shots of the Air New Zealand props reflecting on the wet tarmac, on this typical June winter morning.
Check out the next 13 photos (1890kb):

That's the lot for now, not as good as my last effort thanks to the weather, but if you have any comments, you can still post them below.
Looking forward to August when my friend and I will be there, sitting at the end of the Rwys 23, listening to the scanner, and taking snaps. And I guess I might just look for those open gates. Hopefully they don't mistake me for a terrorist...
