What a brilliant collection of pics - I'm gonna add this post to my memories - and snag a couple of the Brisbane ones, if that's okay?

Sure lovely, go right ahead.

Oh dear, I hope they're okay.

It looked so awesome this morning. Pretty much clear by now in Sydney.

It's still hanging around up here but because the sun isn't shining it just looks muky-- not that pretty orange.
