I was in karratha for the 1998 meteor shower, was the greatest sky show ive ever seen.

 

[Nanjim]

Yes...
Have seen the Loenoid shgower a couple of times...

From memory it was about this time of year that it happened.....

Thats he one was around this time of year. took the couch out the backyard with a carton, ended up being one of the strongest showers on record.

 

[Nanjim]

I went out onto the Spoil Bank with a carton ......
There was about 150/200 vehicles out there all watching the Shower....
No light Polution out there and great fishing as well....
I am about 6hrs drive from there at the moment ....
The colour has gone from the Moon.....
