Thanks for the kind comments everyone. We didn't hear the boom unfortunately.
Actually I've seen a fireball once before, years ago over in the UK. It was at night and very impressive with a big explosion at the end - didn't get a picture of that one though!
Just a bit of luck I had the camera handy. Pity I didn't have a tripod handy too or I could have got some longer exposures. BTW I actually meant WSW rather than ESE....
I wasn't too worried about trying to flog the pics, but I'll send it into the local paper and maybe one of the Oz astronomy mags?
