How lucky we we here in Cairns, 2 great eclipses in 6 months
I had to race into town from the south side of cairns driving through the pouring rain, after the tip off from a mate that it was clear in town.
While some folks watched this great event from atop soaring mountains, in painted deserts and from coral fringed beaches.
I saw my best view from the Macca's car park in suburban Cairns
where I met my mate for a Coffee, armed with some eclipse glasses.
The views were between and through the clouds for the maximum, with the clouds clearing for the latter parts of the event.
The only photo I got was on the iPhone through eclipse glasses, but being there was the main thing and sharing it with a good mate was all the better
