Hey, I just ran Stellarium and set it for Sydney. There's some hoax going on because there was no night sky! It was daytime!

Hate to burst the bubble, but only one galaxy is visible to the naked eye, and that is Andromeda, our closest nieghbour. Several errors here - M31 isn't the closest galaxy to ours, there are several faint dwarf galaxies that are closer. Also, there are three other galaxies that can be seen with the naked eye. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are easily visible to anyone in the right hemisphere, and according to the following link, M-33 in Triangulum is visible when seeing conditions are good enough. seds.lpl.arizona.edu/messier/m/m033.htmlPicky. If a Dwarf Planet isn't a planet, a dwarf galaxy isn't a galaxy. and the Clouds don't look like stars (I know this, I see them often enough) but rather like... clouds, and they are close enough to be part o f our galaxy anyway.
