Yep. Down for me in Queensland, Australia as well (Facebook and Instagram). It is situations like this that give people a much needed break from social media (myself included). You don't realise just how much of a stranglehold (some more than others) that it has over you until you can't actually use it. Downtime for a site as big as Facebook is rare, but it happens, especially when your infrastructure isn't solely controlled by you (content distribution networks come to mind).
