The night were amazing because Red Cliffs is a rural area, miles and miles of grapes (not anymore sadly) and Grandfather owned 27 acres of sultana grapes and same thing, very little lighting around, and the night skies were just filled with thousand and thousand of starry bright stars. Miss that part of our life. The house is still there that my grandfather built who was given land while they built the water channels after the war. All the vines are gone like the orange ranges. All gone. Even had a road named after our family. :) Also the Southern Lights have been seen in Hobart around Mt Wellington. Good to know will be keeping an eye out ;) Jan.
