Thanks for the welcome all.
Great advice, Rob.
You're right, Rajah. I didn't have to go far at all. Watched it for a while on the front verandah, then wandered down to the foreshore with the crowds for the main event. I must admit, I wasn't too excited about it beforehand... and I was just too bloody busy in the week leading up to it with all the extra people in town. But when the moment came, it was fantastic. The most amazing thing I've ever seen. All day it was a worry that it would be obscured by the clouds, but just at the right time they parted, giving a spectacular view of the total eclipse.
Anyway, I'm rambling.
