It's just out of your shot to the upper left (or maybe behind the tree at upper left?). Try tonight - Saturn and the Moon in very close proximity.

EDIT:- Ingo, attached is a predicted view from some software - should be for Albany 11pm 18th June. Sorry it's so small. Saturn moves much closer to the Moon over the subsequent hours, but it's below the horizon for you. We see the closest approach (about half a degree) in our night sky around 8pm tonight our time (Melbourne), weather permitting .
