The tinting on the glass can make photography from this location difficult. The windows of the deck are often dirty and are not cleaned very often. | The tinting on the glass can make photography from this location difficult.

===03 Viewing Deck=== | |||
Perth Airport Pty. Ltd. built a viewing deck on a mound overlooking the 03 threshold. | |||
It faces east, so it is best for afternoon photography. | |||
There is a long ramp to the deck, making it disability accessible (there are also two reserved parking bays for people who hold disability parking permits). | |||
There are no bathrooms or water fountains at the viewing deck. The closest toilets are located at the domestic terminal. | |||
On top of this, there is little shelter and seating. | |||

There is a small hill (1.5m) which previously allowed you to snap away without the fence getting in the viewfinder. The construction of the new inner security fence which is 1.5m higher than the previous makes this a slightly more difficult proposition. | There is a small hill (1.5m) which previously allowed you to snap away without the fence getting in the viewfinder.
