Hi Mike, I have seen only the one in 1976. My Dad and I travelled from Canberra to Bombala and even though it was cloudy it was still an amazing event. We recorded the event on a Super 8 movie camera and watched what we could through the C8 which was brand new then.
Eclipses can have an amazing effect on people, my Dad still used to mention it and have a chat about how amazing it was right up until he passed away a few years ago. He used to say his favourite bit was watching the cows in the next paddock all get ready for bed and then all getting up again a little while later, he thought it was very amusing.
I am aiming to be in Cairns in 2012 and would urge anyone who has never seen an eclipse in real life as they say to see at least one in their lifetime.
You will not be sorry.
Cheers
