This moderately active storm passed over the Sydney basin from ~ 1800 - 1930 hrs EST.
I heard the first thunder rumble ~ 1815hrs. The flashes/rumbles were often sparce,
sometimes many minutes between them. A lot of the lightning was hidden in the clouds
and it was only later, when most of the storm had passed over, there were some good
cloud-cloud flashes seen. I was not in a position to photograph the storm till it was
getting well east of me. Below are 3 stills from this short .avi movie

The storm did produce some short periods of torrential rain,
but no hail in my home area of Ryde
