Observer
Name Deb L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Time is approximate, i didnt think to check my watch. We were purposefully stargazing on the jetty. It appeared so bright and low that I expected to hear an explosion in the bottom of the marble hill carpark valley. Frightened my daughter it was so impressive. Never seen the like of it.
