Most aussie amateur astronomers that have been in the hobby for more than a year or two would be aware of the 2012 total solar eclipse visible from Cairns and you can be certain that more than a few will be in town to witness the event , so you wont be alone. At a rough guess there'll be several thousands of eclipse chasers up north for the event, accomodation is already hard to get, oh , and welcome to the world of amateur astronomy, enjoy the ride.
