The eastern states of aust are below the white line indicating that the first part of the occultation will be visible before the sun rises. Daytime viewing can be difficult because of the suns glare. Best chance to see it is at the dissapearance stage. Here's a pic of the daytime occultation in July this year. Best to set your scope tracking on venus and wait for the reapperance. I just hope the clouds stay away for a couple of hours.
