by 2 PM, on the 13th, we decided to go to either Ellis Beach and Palm Cove, camp overnight.
by 5 PM, we decided to go to Mareeba (after evaluating the weather news on TV). 
So, Mareeba is was! |
Hi Shah,
Very good and it was a wise decision to get a away from the coast, but not all
were that lucky. Some of the ASNSW folk such as Don Whiteman reported
no luck at Julatten.
Wouldn't be surprised if we drove past each other without knowing it at times!
We stayed on the Palm Cove headland overlooking Ellis Beach but did go up and
down the Bruce Hwy a few times as far as Cape Tribulation. As posted elsewhere,
we ended up on the Mulligan Hwy the afternoon before the eclipse.
Did you have to trek back to Sydney to fly to KL or were you able to fly
there direct from Cairns?
