Any idea exact spot I should go? Or should I remain at Newman throughout the eclipse?
Thanks

Hi.
We (a group of 3 from the South West) will be staying at a place about 2-thirds from Meekathara to Newman called the Kumarina Roadhouse. We are starting tomorrow and doing the trip in two days, staying just the one night there.
As for viewing location we haven't exactly decided whether we will go to find the path of annularity to the north of where we are staying, either by going to the Colyer Ranges or find a track east of the highway - or going to the southern edge to see the bailey beads (we're not doing any photography as far as I know).
My first time chasing an eclipse so wouldn't mind seeing full (94%) eclipse but if the BB are a show, then it makes sense to go to the southern limit. Happy for suggestions.
Currently a lot of bad weather done south at the moment. Hoping it doesn't reach Newman in a couple of days!
EDIT: Btw, how do you change the thread back from listing new messages last instead of first?
