It's been sensational viewing the last 2 nights from up on the hill at Fremantle's Monument Hill War Memorial. Unobstructed views to the western horizon on the Indian Ocean (or more accurately, the line of pollution murk along the horizon), and only a little low cloud to interfere with nature's light show.
Crowds of eager viewers (several hundred on Wednesday), some with picnic teas on the grass, including locals, tourists, kids and dogs, all gathered in a warm, friendly, festive atmosphere. An early Australia Day celebration, but without the drunks and hooligans.
It's wonderful to see people of all ages so engrossed in a glorious, natural spectacle - all praise to the mighty comet that brings us together!
