Another non-event on the night


It is almost a certainty that if a spectacular night-time celestial event is about to take place (be it comet, meteor shower or total lunar eclipse) then the night skies over northern NSW coastal estuaries will seriously cloud over.
Last Wednesday night and early Thursday morning were no exception.

Here is a little taste of what places like Mt. Gambier in South Australia saw on the night

This is what Yamba, Iluka and many other Northern Rivers villages saw as the Moon turned red


Still, one must be thankful for Nature's wayward mercies. At least it has stopped raining for the moment.
