Great shots by all. Some nice positive flashes from you MB and a nice negative strike also.  Loved the first ocean strike by Enak – whopper – although it's probably a negative flash given the look of it.  Perfect location for that shot!  I'm well pleased that some of you are out getting the images, primarily due to our season over up here in Darwin, so looking forward to reading some reports etc from you all in the eastern states.  Quite a bit of activity over the past days in SE Qld etc, keep up the great work!

Wonderful time lapse video by Paul…you caught a nice bit of bead lightning in that last segment also – wonderful to see that!
