Thanks Rob. At least an IceInSpace person was able to report! NASA failed in that regard, and JAXA had no audio feed, and no real indication of what was going on.

Regards,
Tony Barry

A friend just north of Pt Augusta reported seeing it. Close to the horizon but quite bright.

Is there any news on whether it landed properly on its 'chutes, or dug itself a small crater in the Woomera range?

Yes have just seen it come in,(I'm in Yulara,NT) very very bright and quick. Landing is not a term I would use! Exciting.

Saw it from the beach just below Mars, for about 2 secs and then it hit the cloudbank. Came in really fast.
