Over the next few months I will trying out the Lunt in several locations "scoping" out the best place to view the eclipse along with a couple of plan "B"s should mother nature conspire against us.
The Rex lookout on the way to Port Douglas and the Kuranda Range lookout will be high on the list
Looking very forward to meeting up with other members of the IIS community.

Gary, can you post Google map links to good lookout spots? As a 'Stranger on a Stange Land' it would be good to know which are good spots to check out, rather than driving willy nilly round the district checing out everything vaguely possible. I will be staying at Mowbray.
I was looking at the Google earth map of the centreline and it crosses the Mossman Mt Molloy Rd at around the 410m elevation. Are there any lookouts along there - I found a likely looking spot at lat=-16.5340068604, lon=145.381454329 at an elevation of 379m and with a clearly visible pull off for cars spot or two. Failing anyone knowing what this place is like I'll go up and view sunrise there the day after I arrive, it's not a long drive from the van park.
