3 bright lights seen overheard at different times above Port Phillip bay, Australia. Near Southern Cross and Big Dipper.

Okay, me and my dad were on my balcony, watching for shooting stars, when a light starts to travel counter clockwise across the sky, above the bay. We think it could just be a satellite, but dad points out that it's going the wrong way. We watch it for a few minutes, when we notice the same size white light, (constant, un-blinking.)start to cross the sky, clockwise, toward the other light at a tangent. We watch as they encounter a very, very light cloud, and neither appear on the other sides.

After a few minutes, a blinking white light appears up and to our rights, it has a constant blinking pattern as it travels across the sky. It turns at one point, and heads down past the southern cross. And then it vanishes.
