ISS Transits Moon 2moro Sun 26th, GoldCoast ?

Hi All,
In breif, A Heads Up And I would like to ask if any of you ISS Transiters in SE QLD / NE NSW have had an Alert for this event ? If so, I would like some confirmation as I'm very new to this, ?

After being registered with Calsky for 12 months, I have had approx 5-6 alerts which is within a 200klm Radius of my location, all these pevious alerts has put the position/location for observation between 50-150klms out to sea ? The only prob with this, is that I dont have a Canoe to take my mount and scope/s there, even tho I have contemplated it, to the extent of even taking along a good piece of plastic to keep my scopes dry when Im single paddling out through the Seaway Breakers, Lol , ,

Anyway, I would like any confirmation of this event (PM also an option) as I'm kinda only guessing at the exact time, or, basically a minute or two prior to start Video, this is of high importance as the ISS will be in Shadow at the time, so wont be seeing it coming ?
I will be investigating between now & then, on how to operate my 600D in Vid Crop Mode, that info I already have, but need to fimiliarise myself with it !
Hence, why timing is important, as looking through thousands of frames will undoubtably be very time consuming

I have also attached some snippets from various assocciated web maps on the Center line/Path and the times at a few locations that were linked to my Email Alert,
Basically also need to know the Time Zoning etc, and whether I have too allow for SE QLD 10hr Timezone adjustment to the specified time shown in attachments or any other adjustments that need to be applied ?

So, if anyone is onto this, I would much appreciate any confirmation on these times in the attached snippets

Thanx very much in advance
Anyway, Hope the clouds play away, and if any one else is having a go, Best of luck
