Have put in for time of work and will be making the 1900 km trip from Mackay to north of Tenant creek. Aparently there is a landmark on the highway called Churchill's Head that is on the center line of the eclipse. Its a long way to go for a 4 minute show but its on my bucket list.
Churchill’s Head, NT
18° 56′ 29″ S
134° 06′ 58″ E
Eclipse duration 4 min 18 sec
Here is a link to a google map page.
