Hi Eden,
You must have been very lucky. I live in kinglake west and for the last 3-4 nights I would get home and its nice and clear. By the time I get the fire going and do a few things its cloudy again. Tuesday night I went out to take the bins out at 7.30pm and it was clear, by the time I drove the bins to the end of the drive and got back I couldn't see 50' due to fog. Last night looked good. I got my shoes and coat on went outside and it was starting to rain.
The worst part is, if I happen to wake up early in the morning and look out the window its been clear, not a cloud in sight.
