Eclips from my place

Feeling was mutual!

An eclipse right on sunrise - how spectacular.

Yorkeys seems like a nice little place. Were you on the hill, Steve? I'll bet there are good views from there.

The eclipse next year will be an annular eclipse, where you get a pretty orange ring around the silhouetted moon. We get it in Far North Queensland too, although not right over Cairns, so I'll need to do a trip for this one. Nothing better than an eclipse trip. Hope my uni schedule lets me!

Sorry for the hijack OP. We were in the granny flat of a 6 million $ house built onto the front of the cliff. Swimming pool looked a long way straight down with views over Double Island and the reef. Lynne took over the "table of wisdom" at the yacht club in two weeks. Very impressive.

Good as it was, it didn't compare to this morning at Numbulwar (for me)

Next up, the May 2013 annular eclipse, where the moon is just a bit too far forward of the sun for a traditional solar eclipse, so you get a nice orange ring instead.

Yikes! If I get an orange ring.... I'm going straight to the doctor :shock:

From Landsborough, we got 88% coverage.... I sat and watched with my welding helmit on :shock: would have been a sight :lol:

Kinda spooky when it got like 'twilight' light levels.... got quite cool as well (temp that is)

Awsome pics

I was out at Endyalgout island, we didn't know it was on. We were loading the boats in the
first light and then it went dark again. We were all astounded.
But not as astounded as the wallabies on the beach : )

Nice pics guys.
