Sky looked very promising from Tahmoor until about 30 mins before first contact, but I could see thicker cloud approaching from SW. Got in the car & drove 30km north, where I managed to see the first few minutes of the eclipse before the cloud got there too. Expecting nothing more, I got a great shot through a 1-degree gap in the cloud just above the horizon and near max eclipse on way home. That alone was worth the travelling & fumbling.
