I'm from Hong Kong and will arrive Cairns few days before the eclipse. This is my first time going to the Australia and I basically know nothing about the Cairns area.
I will stay in Cairns downtown where the sunrise and first contact will be obscured by a hill in the east. From Google Earth I find the height of the hill is about 700m. I wonder if cloud would form on top of it?
I won't drive, so my mobility is highly restricted. I am considering Palm Cove where sunrise is not obscured. Would that be a better choice than the downtown? If I want to go inland, is Mareeba the only choice with public transport?
Thank you!
