Traiangle of lights in the early Ausralian Morning

At the above mentioned time I happened to be in the backyard ((deleted)) having a smoke and looking to the sky as I always do at night as I am mad keen on the stars and aviation.

Now where I was living at the time is a small country town of maybe 3-4000 people and I lived right on the outskirts of town where there was very little light polution. When I noticed very high above me travelling from SW to NE a triangular shape of light 7 in total at first I thought it may have have been an airliner, But tracking that way would not correct , then I thought maybe a formation of Military jets, as the lights moved at a very fast pace. I watched and waited for the flashing of the anti collision lights which can be visable up to 15 klms and no flashing I then watched as the lights eventually faded from sight and waited to hear jet noise but nothing. It was still night and earlier on that evening I had tracked by sight and sound. I never thought anymore about it until looking at different sighting that I had seen on this web sight. I wonder if any other Australians have seen, too?
