You will have to have a very clear low western horizon to catch this one if you live in South East Queensland, because the Moon sets in the west at 6.36am and maximum eclipse (Totality) is at 6.22am,
this will be neatly at the same time as the sunrise.
But saying that, you’ll still enjoy seeing the first half of the eclipse, which begin at 4.24am, and if the horizon is still clear for you lunar totality will start at 5.30am, it might look very pretty with the dawn colours and the red planet Mars very close by the Moon.
If you have the publication Astronomy 2018, you’ll find all the times for the other states in Australia on page 92.
Good Luck everyone :-)

Images from a previous Total Eclipse of the Moon as seen from the Gold Coast in QLD Australia :-)
I will post some images soon of this one if the sky is clear and I can see the eclipse above the houses and trees which are across the road from me here on the Gold Coast!
Postnote: Because of cloud I could not see the lunar eclipse :-(
