Anyone planning a trip to see the anular eclipse at Tennant Creek (the devils marbles) next year?

[Moon]

Yep :-)

We will be heading out there for a few days each side of the eclipse. You won't get any darker skys than central Australia. Good excuse I guess.

Funny story (a little OT) about when I was in Tennant creek (more than once....)

Walking down the supermarket isle I spied something long/big & frozen sticking out of the big freezer chests.

I thought they were eel's! I went back and had a squizz...they were frozen Kangaroo tails! Yum!

The was a squash court come restaurant called the "Dolly Pot". We arrived there didn't expect much but the food was most excellent. I was talking to the waitress about the rain that had just started (the WET) and she replied "I just want to tear my clothes off and run outside naked"...

My family was with me so I said I couldn't join her in this romp!

Anyway I didn't think the DSO went any further south than Katherine?:lol:
