Giant Fireball, Brisbane, 7:12pm

Did anyone else see the fireball east of Brisbane last night? I saw it as it came into the field of view whilst driving through Manly West, about 25 degrees up and approx bearing 120 degrees. It was pure white with surface brightness much brighter than that of the Moon. It broke up into pieces which looked like sparks or fireworks.


I couln't see any reference stars or trail as the streetlights were quite bright.
