You're right Ric.. that has passed fast.
I was 11 when it came thru. My Brother and I used to sneak out of the house with mum's binoculars in the early morning and walk to a friends house. He had a telescope but I don't recall what it was.
Back in those days the street lights went off about 1am or something like that. I can remember it being very quiet, very dark and sooo many stars.
I can also remember being surprised every night how much it had moved.
And the thrill of sneaking out of the house and walking the streets in the blackness!
