Space Shuttle Viewing Opportunities

With the latest shuttle mission (STS-124) now launched there are opportunities to see the shuttle as it passes overhead.
I will be doing regular updates of the IIS Calander as I find Interesting Space Mission Info, the first and best one is here for Sydney and Melbourne:

Must Admit I have not seen a Shuttle pass myself and look forward to seeing one on the 19th and 20th of June here in Gove NT.
The NASA page that gives both IIS and the Shuttle times on the one page for Major population centers in Australia is below, or you can enter your own co-ordinates.

Now here is a challenge for the Astro photographers with tracking scopes !
Capture the shuttle and ISS on the same night !
