Took a while, but it was fun.
Is this (see pic) about where it would have been when you observed it?

Out of even more curiosity, how the heck did you find out the information about balloon launches and narrow down to this one? Presumably its been launched from Melbourne Airport. Who is the owner of the balloon? BOM? The amateur call signs in the list pertain to what? Are they amateurs who were tracking the balloon or did you get met data on wind strength and directions to predict a path?
Judging by the marked position and the altitude given it is quite possibly the balloon in question. Great work Andrew!
PS. Thanks for doing this followup, its very cool!!
