    I was lucky enough to be there on Australia Day. It was fantastic to see mother nature out do the 100grand they spent on fireworks!!

    Its a fake. Anyone from perth will tell you that the comet was not travelling in that direction. I'm betting its 3 photo's blended into one.

    The linked URL says that it is indeed a 3 photo combination. Still pretty cool, of course.

    Indeed an amazing photo!

    @James; You can't tell the direction of a comet by its tail. It's always turned away from the sun; unrelated with the direction it's going.

    Is this link working?

    A friend of mine reckons that her friend took this pic at Hillarys, but I've heard that the comet wasn't visible on Australia Day. True?
