We were observing from the north end of Four Mile Beach at Port Douglas. An amazing crowd made it feel even more remarkable - especially as everyone was hoping the clouds would be kind to us. We had intermittent views of the ingress and then clouds covered the sun for about 15 minutes before totality. Then a window opened to give a great view of totality. My first total eclipse and nothing could prepare me for how truly amazing it was. One of the few times that I would use the word "awesome"
I was also amazed at how almost everyone left as soon as totality was over. We had great views of the egress and it was amazing to watch through my Ha scope as the moon gradually revealed the detail of the sun.
Wonderful!
