There are a couple of threads on this. See http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s....php?p=1051847 and http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s....php?p=1055206

For Lismore it starts at 09:49 with Saturn a bit north of west at altitude ~44 degrees and finishes at 11:00 with Saturn at ~30 degrees.

Any of the planetarium programs will visualise it for you.
