With all the post-cyclonic weather still about it's looking cloudy here in Brisbane. I was going to try to go up Mt Gravatt to see it.

yeah that's more like what it looked like here, thanks Fulvio :good:

sorry it's so crappy but the batteries were near flat and it didn't want to focus right so I need a good camera :(

Great pics AJ & McDuck!

I can't believe you didn't procrastinate McDuck! Feeling ill?

By the time it got high enough for us to see (mountains) it was the normal colour but half eclispsed.

Clouds cleared enough later to see partial eclipse but no red. Mars was sitting at 10.00 to the moon
