It all depends on what sort they are.
The Magellanic Clouds are very cool, so are clouds of reflected and emission nebulae. I even like the dust clouds that are silhouetted against our Galactic Centre.

Clouds are indigenous to Melbourne.

They are also one of Melbourne's most well known endemic species in the astronomy world, and have now become a pest across the world.

Eradicate these things before it's too late.

Yea I know what you mean, all clouds should be banned after 6pm till 6am every night, with no exception.

It has been months here in Ballarat since we have had any decent imaging weather.
