Around 21:00 local time the moon was below the horizon over Sydney — it was a last quarter that night, just not up yet. Local time here is estimated from Sydney's longitude rather than looked up from a timezone database — within about an hour almost everywhere (see the free generator for the same trade-off spelled out).
