BREAKING: The moment three-year-old Memphis was reunited with his mum in Brisbane. The toddler was stranded in NSW due to Queensland's strict border rules before the State Government allowed him to enter with an exemption. 7news.link/BorderBattle #7NEWS

And hours before it turned blood red, the moon rose as the largest super moon of the year. This is it coming up behind the Port of Brisbane #7NEWS #supermoon

The moon just before #LunarEclipse2021

The super blood moon. What a spectacle. Here’s how it looked over south east Queensland. #BloodMoon #7news

The start of the eclipse

This is going to be big. What a coup for @QAGOMA and #Brisbane. Fantastically generous by @metmuseum to make this exhibition happen. #7NEWS

Took a while for pink super moon to rise above the cloud in Brisbane. But it was spectacular when it came up. Next month: there’s a blood red super moon. And yes, it’ll actually be red!

The above photos were last night’s moonrise. Optical illusion makes it seem bigger on the horizon. But will the sky be clear enough for a great view? That’s a question for @TonyAuden #7NEWS

Tonight’s pink super moon rises at 5.33pm. It’s a ‘super’ moon because it’s closer to earth, appearing larger than usual. #7NEWS

@MichaelCoombes Looks like there’ll be some patchy low level cloud around (this map shows cloud at 5pm). You’ll be lucky to get the moonrise on the horizon, but should get it before rising too high in the sky. 🌝

The cost of war is felt most keenly in our small communities. Quilpie will soon have a new landmark just outside town. It's designed locally and built locally to honour a local who lost his life in Afghanistan. youtu.be/PuE5yzwN0vc @MichaelCoombes #AnzacDay #7NEWS

Just returned from the stunning Whitsundays. And I'd say if you can get your hands on one of these vouchers - just go. And if you can't? Go anyway - it's spectacular! #lovewhitsundays #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia
