Not sure about that. I saw it in 2012 at Coona only because Lachlan who was there with some dude from the Texas Star Party exchange pointed it out to me. It was a milky patch at the zenith. Not obvious but you could see it with averted vision. I recall the milkyway though that was wrapped all around the horizon 360 degrees and you could still see it. That was pretty cool. Like a ring. Saw the zodiacal light after sunset out west a couple of time but never saw the zodiacal bridge either. I did see my hands and arm shadow though with the milkyway up ahead one cold winter at Wiruna in 2008. Not defined outline but you can certainly see the blurry shade. I don't think I'd see it now. My eyes aren't as good anymore.
