Woke up early this morning to find Jindabyne area totally shrouded in heavy fog so I decided to do a 'dry run'. Usually when we have heavy fog at home, Perisher Valley is the nearest totally clear area (at 1730m altitude) and so it was again this morning, absolute gorgeous sunny start to the day. Although the drive was not without incidents, 7 skittish deer ran across the road in front of me as well as a dozen wallas, a hare all out feeding on the roadside.
For tomorrow I will be going to Mt Kosciuszko, at least if the weather is bad I can enjoy the atmosphere of the cool mountain air.
I was lucky enough to be at Mt Gambier, South Australia on 23 October 1976 to view my last total eclipse.
It is a day like no other in my memory banks so clear skies to all who have made the trip to FNQ.
