Hi K!
No one in Australia saw much of this eclipse.
In every state except Western Australia, the moon set this morning before the eclipse started, so if you're in any other state you could not have seen it at all.
Even In Western Australia, the partial eclipse did not begin until 6:30 a.m. Western Summer Time but, at Perth, for example, the moon set at 7:08, so there you would have been able to see only about a half-hour of the partial phase. Totality did not begin until 7:44 a.m. (AWST), more than a half-hour after the moon had already set. And no place else in the country saw even that much.
Patience, though. If you're on the east coast, you'll get to see the end of the total eclipse this winter, the evening of August 28th!

We went out to look for it in the US, but the clouds prevented us from seeing anything.
