The Sun shall be blotted from the sky ... for about two minutes, in North Queensland, on the 14th of November.
I leave tomorrow morning. I will spend four days driving to Cairns, a mere 3,000 km or so.
After a logistics day in Cairns, I'll head another 250 kms or so to a campground prepared on centre line. I'll be there for several days, there's a bit of a gathering going on.
I really hope for clear weather for the eclipse!
Afterwards, I will investigate going to The Tip of Cape York Peninsula, but that cannot be done in a mere Subaru Outback.
There are also lots of amazing parks and forest reserves and such in the general area. If the weather is good I could spend a week or two up there.
I am considering returning by a different route, involving the Birdsville Track and the Oodnadatta Track.
Yeah that does go through the middle of a great big desert. On unsealed roads. At the very end of spring. She'll be right, eh?
So I won't be cellaring much for the next few weeks.
