In Launceston it was a non event. I couldn't even convince HRH to turn off the one light she was reading the newspaper by.
The worst polluter, street lighting remained unchanged, the state government's electric authority didn't bother to turn off their lights despite being the most visible source of light pollution in the greater Launceston area.
The transparency here was poor, smoke and some high level cloud (or more smoke) made observing difficult so I packed it in and watched a program called The Planet on SBS. If you're a climate change sceptic that program is worth a look. They presented some cold hard facts and pictorial evidence of the damage we are doing to the planet including statistics on extinction predictions for mammals, fish, birds and reptiles and storm incidence.
