Thanks for the post Al
I was very lucky last night, out at one of our beaches with a group of visitors.
We had just finished looking at the "Maccasan" stone drawings, a very significant site for the local Yolngu people.

Looked up and there the IIS was, Straight overhead and bright as can be.
It was a real treat for everyone present !
What a contrast the ISS is to the Macassan sailing ships of old that plied a trade with the Yolngu people 200 years before jolly old Captain Cook set foot on their shores.
