Brisbane Airport circa 1969-70. This view is looking south towards the Brisbane River and the City of Brisbane. The white buildings at bottom left are part of the Army's Damascus Barracks at Meeandah. Runway 22 extends from bottom right towards the city for which reason the CBD was subject to building height restrictions. This view shows all three Brisbane racecourses. Closest to the airport is Doomben with Eagle Farm to the west and Albion Park at the top of the image. Given that the airport has always been known as Eagle Farm, it can be confusing that the racecourse closest to the airport is actually Doomben with Eagle Farm Racecourse farther away.
