That was because of the angle of the sun shining on the Earth and casting a shadow on the moon from your perspective. From Australia, the shadow started at the bottom and moved upwards, even though we were all looking at the same moon at almost the same time.

What does a sun earth moon diagram look like?
Draw 3 Circles. A large one to represent the sun, a small one to represent the moon, and a medium-sized one to represent the earth. The circles should be drawn next to each other in a straight line. Draw the small circle (moon) directly in between the large and medium circles (Sun and Earth) The moon is what causes the solar eclipse. It gets in between the sun and earth so that from the earth we cannot see the sun.
Can the moon be dark on top and light on bottom?
It can do in special circumstances, but first understand that the Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours and this means that for all people round the Earth for 1/2 of this period they are facing the Sun and during this period it is light and daytime. For the other 12 hours they are facing away form the Sun and therefore in the dark shadow of the earth and it is night.The ONLY time the Moon can make it dark is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun during the day (it does this about once a year) and this causes an eclipse. However the shadow of the Moon is only very small only a small bit of the earth goes dark.
Why are there so few lunar and solar eclipses?
Two things prevent that from happening every year. One, the Moon's orbital plane is tilted about 5 degrees from the ecliptic, which is the path of Earth's orbit. Think of two concentric circles, with one tilted slightly so that the circles touch each other at only two points on opposite sides. So, for a lunar eclipse to occur the Moon has to be at (or very close to) either of the two nodes (the points where the ecliptic and the Moon's orbit coincide), while at the same time, the Sun has to be on the opposite side to produce the Earth's shadow that eclipses the Moon. On top of that, (the second thing), the Moon's orbital circle shifts every year so that the two nodes rotate around the ecliptic about every 19 years. Every year, the Moon's intersection with the ecliptic is shifted about 18 degrees, so from one year to the next, the Moon is in a different place.
