Strange light in sky

Hey guys:

At about 21:48, Sydney time, from Northern Beaches location, I saw a bright light travelling from north west to south east, about... 30 degrees above the horizon? It looked quite bright, I'd say... magnitude 1 to maybe -1? Orangy-whity colour.

It was travelling rather fast... I suppose about half as fast as your normal satellite appears.

No trail, so it wasn't a comet. There were no blinking lights, so not a plane (pretty sure on this, I'm a plane nut. Flight pattern didn't make sense)

My original thought was ISS. So I downloaded orbitron, but nope. Cosmos 1867 perhaps.

Anyone else see it? Any thoughts?

Anthony
