Tony,
The RASNZ occultation predictions have it mostly over the Southern Ocean and missing Australia but reasonably favourable for New Zealand.

The original publication for the prediction you link that has wide coverage of Australia dates from 2010. What's the present situation?

The occultation is probably visible from much of Australia, although at 31 AU distance, the precise path of the occultation is not perfectly known.
