User's notes

Seen in a 180o arc they were all around us, from over the top of the tip hill on the right, to the left side of us and on the far left across Mugga Lane. It was amazing to watch some came close, but most were in the distance. There were probably more than 75.

@MatthewFrawley Thanks Matthew, noticed that BenW hit the jackpot later seeing over 100 not far away, wow, we thought over 36 was amazing to see that would have been spectacular.
@BenW Well done Ben.
