Seen it clearly in Mildura the last 2 nights in a SW direction. Some people have been saying that its harder to see in city areas because of all the street lights etc.. dunno how accurate that is though.

Great to see that some people have been able to take photos of it _2:
My camera obviously doesn't have a strong enough zoom cos all i can get is a picture of the black sky.
