Venus is visible as a very bright start at and just after sunset in the west and yesterday it was very close to the crescent moon.
A great photo opputunity!
By the way Venus Bay is not named after the planet Venus. It was changed to Venus Bay by Francis Peron on one of Baudain's Charts, and is thought to have been named after George Bass's ship the copper sheathed brig Venus. In appreciations of Bass's kindness in providing the distressed French expedition with fresh food.
