Bird,
did you happen to go up to Mt Archer in Rockhampton?
I lived in rocky for about 5 years while going to uni there.
if you go up to MT Archer when a shuttle launch is on, you can actually see the shuttle going up (as long as its on the right inclination at lift off). I have seen the SRB's seperate from the shuttle. All you need is binoculars or a 300Mm plus lens on a camera.
I can hear everyone say yeah right the shuttle is the other side of the world.. well basically the reflection off the atmosphere bounces so that you can see it on the western horizon about 1-5 degrees above the horizon. it is so thrilling to watch one!!!
