Hi Ron. So the sun was partially eclipsed by the moon, then totally eclipsed by the Sun. I think the cool thing is that someone worked out when and where this would occur.
In the late 80's I worked in Cooroora Veterinary Surgery. I would have been out your way treating horses and cows at least 2-3 times a week. Beautiful country there! Wish I could come and stay there for good. Bet you're pretty wet there this morning though!
