I have some great news.
The Queensland Government has just updated their advice for safe viewing of the eclipse.
http://www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au/sa...cal-events.htm
They have added in "
The only time that the Sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye is during a total eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the disk of the Sun."
So now we have the full story from the Government - that is (in summary):
It safe to use certified eclipse glasses for viewing the partial phases, and
It is safe to view totality with the naked eye.
