What star is in the western sky of Victoria. I live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and last night, as well as tonight, I have seen quite a big star, the only one in the sky (western sky anyway) and pretty much in the same spot as last night..

Could it be a planet? If so, which one..?

If it is a well known star, I would like to know its name.

Thankyou!
It is the first star to appear :)
 
If it is shortly after sunset (within a couple of hours), it is certainly the planet Venus. Should be in your evening sky for another handful of weeks, before it gets too close to the sun in our sky, and eventually emerges in the morning sky in April.
