Clouds at low and high altitudes conspired with relatively high winds to make the whole thing a bit of a fizzer from our point of view after all.
None the less, the same was not the the experience for other astronomy amateurs buffs (and professionals) across Oz.
I've put together a sampling below of what we here in the Harbour City missed out on seeing for ourselves last night.
Will let them speak for them selves. Enjoy.

Stargazers, space junkies, people who like the outdoors & pretty much everyone should see #SuperBlueBloodMoon tomorrow (Wednesday) night. #Perth, as always, will have spectacular views - clear (mostly) unpolluted skies, great position! From 7:48pm AWST https://t.co/nVrPDLZrPJ— Peter McLean (@McLeanPeterJ) January 30, 2018

Ready and poised to watch the #superbluebloodmoon in Western Australia. (Don’t you just love a girthy hashtag?) https://t.co/Z4l6QcY0la— Kat Hannaford (@KatHannaford) January 31, 2018
My Grandmother used to say to me that "nothing good happens in Darlinghurst after dark".
Wise woman.
