Voyager is about 4 times further away from Earth than Pluto. My guess is that you didn't see Voyager.

Just ran the time through HeavenSat for Brisbane and found three bright objects at that time and two of them are going in the opposite direction so that narrows it down to Seasat 1 (1978-064A).

It left the Earth shadow at 2143 (Alt=51, Az=203) heading down to set at 2149 (Az=202). Mag=4.0.

Or it might have been Santa heading home for a beer.

Steve.
