Saturn and the Crescent Moon
Western horizon as seen at 6:30 pm ACST on Thursday September 9 in Adelaide, similar views will bee seen elsewhere in Australian at equivalent local times.
On Thursday September 9 the thin crescent Moon is near Saturn. This will be quite difficult to see if you do not have a clear, level western horizon (and Saturn will be dim in the twilight), but if you do have a clear horizon, it will be worth the effort to see the pair below the trio of Venus, Mars and Spica.
