Well if I held my hand up and lined it up with venus then id say maybe 1 and a half hand widths south! I do remember a satelite moving across the sky near venus for about 2 seconds then it went dark and i couldnt see it anymore. Then maybe 1 min later I saw the quick but very bright flash south of that location. But looked to bright to be sunlight comming off a satelite!

CdC 3.3 together with the latest TLE from SpaceTrack gives me, as best bet, Cosmos 2227 (rocket component), at predicted mag 2.2
There were two Iridium flares predicted for Maroochydore on the 19th, at 19:54 (mag -1.0) and 19:58 (mag 1.4).
For here I have two Iridium flare predictions at about -8 for the 24th
