I've known about the 2028 eclipse for years. It's likely to be my last big eclipse hurrah. So why would you risk the weather on a winter's afternoon in Sydney? That's the worst weather prospects in the country! A trip out to Dubbo or, even better, Bourke will improve the weather prospects dramatically while increasing the duration of totality.
Personally, I'm hoping to fit this into a little drive to the other side of the 'island' that I am planning. On the Kunnunurra - Halls Creek road there is >5min totality (cf 3.48 in Sydney) with near 100% chance of clear skies. Even on the Stuart Hwy south of Tennant Ck you get 4.55 min totality and weather prospects nearly as good as the Kimberley. Why sit around in soggy Sydney?
