Thats interesting - I saw a bright meteor/fireball last night as well, but earlier.
We were returning home from dinner out at Arthurs Seat (a hill on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne). While stopped at one of the lookouts, at 7.50pm, we saw the meteor (mag -4 or -5, if not brighter?) to the northwest.
This one was low in the sky, below the head of Hydra and Procyon.
Regards,
John
