Wow with only just over a week to go, the excitement continues to build. Some people making road-trips to Cairns have already left and no doubt others will be leaving later this week to get there in time.

Everyone is watching the weather, hoping for clear skies on the morning of the eclipse.

Here's a selection of some new and interesting threads for this week:

• IceInSpace Post-eclipse Party at "Apres Beach Bar and Grill", Palm Cove from 1pm
• Watching the weather - Coast vs Inland.
• Road Closures around the area during the eclispe.
• Great webpage by the Astronomical Association of QLD with information for teachers, students and more.
• Are you travelling to the eclipse and then looking for a group or somewhere to observe after the Eclipse? I've started a thread on IceInSpace to share your requests, and for people/groups who are having observing meetups to post their info.
• Main Total Solar Eclipse thread (last few pages talking about location stuff. 

If you're still in need of eclipse glasses, I still have stock but it's running out fast. All orders must be in by midday on Friday 9th November, and any orders this week will be sent express post.

Eclipse Glasses for $4 each or $3.50 each if you buy 4 or more.
