We travelled to just north of Tennant Creek for the annular eclipse there some years ago.
Steel bars across most shop windows gave us a heads up that Tennant Creek was not a caring and sharing town. Alcohol was a real problem with the locals...many of whom were missing their front teeth and were out cold in the local park by 1.00pm due an extended liquid lunch.
Hence if you make the trek to that part of the world, I'd suggest you be mindful that you "are not in Kansas anymore".
