Yeah pity. It's cloudy but they're thin down here in Geelong at the moment so maybe we'll get a glimpse?

I remember dad got us up at 3am some time in 1986 when Halley's Comet came past. He was explaining how it only comes past once every 76 years or so, how rare and amazing it was, just look at that tail, how spectacular, etc etc.

Now I'm exactly the same, but at the time I said.......Can I go back to bed now??

LOL kids.

We were out camping and dragged ourselves out of the tent to look at a faint smear in the sky. I remember stupidly expecting to 'hear something' - I know totally daft and too many movies. Was totally underwhelmed and knackered for the remainder of that day!

You didn't miss anything

I actually got to see the supermoon. Sokay, but couldn't stop howling though.
