Can anyone identify the very bright "star- planet" that is very visible in close proximity to the new moon at dusk these evenings ? Cheers

If it's to the west, and really quite bright just now, I think it's a planet rather than a star. Bound to be someone that knows that can put us right.

If you want to be able to identify stars, planets and pretty well any and all celestial objects (including man-made), a very useful program (for Windows, Mac and Linux) is
here.
It's also available as an app for both android and Apple from the appropriate stores - I've used it for several years.
You can even add your own (local) landscape!
This is one example of "how to do"...
