On age matters - things doctors should never say to an Aspie/Autistic kid, "You're going to live to 100." That when I was 6 on regular visit due to a particular matter; the doctor said it, so it was true - and only as an adult did it suddenly dawn on me it was not meant literally. Still, I thought, why change expectations (until life changes them for me), and Granny lived to 100.

Now back to the topic, thanks Hans for the map of future TSEs. I knew there were others, but have a particular interest in the 2 TSEs plus annular (ASE) that will be viewable from the same spot near Bedourie.

Two more detailed maps are on Joe Cali's page:

He gives several links to more detailed info, but these are for the three I mentioned:
2028-07-22 - http://eclipsewise.com/solar/SEgmapx...gmapx.html#map
2037-07-13 - http://eclipsewise.com/solar/SEgmapx...gmapx.html#map
2042-10-14 - http://eclipsewise.com/solar/SEgmapx...gmapx.html#map

From responses, I think my hoped for spot will be a good one as people are likely to go to more accessible places relative to them. They also suggest more people are likely to go to places where the can visit other sites in the same trip, such as Uluru. I think the Bedourie area is likely easiest for those from eastern SA and western Queensland, or even from north Qld like me if wanting to spend more time in central darksky areas. July in that region is more likely than not to be cloud free. The site of interest is Glengyle Station. I've alerted them to their good fortune - or curse, if they find a lot of people suddenly visiting one day. I've suggested some planning might be wise, even if as a social event for neighbours from Birdsville to Boulia.

I've seen only one TSE - 14 Nov 2014, from Mossman, north of Cairns, but we had thin clouds that impeded full enjoyment. Other than the 3 above, I should plan trips to some of the others here in Oz.
