Peter,
Did yourself or the Leybourn observers hear this mighty matter ?
I would assume if we were the only ones who heard it, then we were the closest at Canungra ? Is that how it works ?
We really haven't heard from anyone further south than us tho.
I really enjoyed watching the vapour trail for the next 5minutes. It was moving slightly (bending in the wind) and had a luminous green glow.

Hi Rob,
Unfortunately I didn't hear any sound from Loganholme.
When I went out to Leyburn yesterday they were still talking about the great show, they also noted that it was lower to the horizon than from my home. Seems that even though most were imaging some part of the sky none imaged the Fireball. - no doubt this was a Fireball (as defined - "a meteor brighter than any of the Planets"). While I didn't hear any sound I have heard reports of such events over the years and the link below might be of interest. Also included a link to The International Meteor Organisation. You certainly experienced something special.
As you and Rod live so close to me you might like to head out to Leyburn one weekend, skies are great and a great bunch of talented amateur astronomers.
