2028 - I think I'll put up with the poorer weather prospects and shorter totality to see this one from home. There's a TSE happening somewhere every 1.5 years or so, but how often is your home 1km from the centre line?
2030 - A near-repeat of the 2002 outback event. The one that's etched into my memory forever as it was the first time I saw the Corona with my own eyes. I'll be close to the original viewing site, just south of Woomera instead of north. Really looking forward to that one.
2037 - Everyone and associated canines will be at Uluru, so I'll be someplace else. Either a bit further east in the red centre, or a lot further east on Mt Tongariro here in NZ, at 2,000m watching the shadow march across the North Island. Weather permitting of course, being winter and all.
2038 - My wife will say 'but you just chased an eclipse last year and had to be rescued off a volcano' so I'm not liking my odds of seeing that one.
2042 - Finally, another Annular, and low in the sky and close to home to boot! These are underrated IMHO.
