I spent 30 minutes with my 10x50 binoculars from Oakleigh. Could must make out M3, although it was very faint in the light pollution. Nice looking at M6 and M7. Centaurus A should have been right overhead - always found this difficult in my 101mm from home, but could just make it out in the binoculars as the faintest smudge. It had been at least five years since I'd last seen this, but the "dipper" of 6-7 magnitude stars from Omega Cen and the isosceles triangle of similar magnitude stars that frame Cen A got me there. Good fun getting back into it.
