I think we're going to be reasonably lucky here with the timing. The moon is rising from the East just as the Sun is setting in the west although I have a feeling the moon will be partially in shadow as it rises.

So... it'll be approx 5.25pm to 5.30pm today MY TIME (which is Tuesday 15th) and we're near the beach so it'll rise over the ocean with nothing blocking the view. We've just had a cyclone/hurricane up north and it's made its way down the east coast now and out to sea. Today the sun is shining and it will probably stay that way for a good viewing this evening.

I'm not sure if we'll be able to go see it though as I have a blown car headlight and I've tried and tried to take the darn thing apart from inside the engine but I can't get the bolts off. I'll see how I go. If we do go I'll get my daughter to take a photo or two.

So annoying with the headlight though. Considering it's a legal issue, you'd think they'd make it more simple to replace the bulbs.
