Perfect clear morning here at Coota, good -3c. Cloud cleared around 2200 last night.

Cheers

Cloud bank moving through at present. Bureau said partly cloudy at first then clearing. Skippy sky prediction attached. Fact is currently 7/8 cloud. Doing this from home, too late to move.

Bright sun through sucker holes in Mona Vale!

[chrisp9au (Chris)]

Not a cloud in the sky in Kyneton!

Nana Glen NSW cloudy with small clear spots, may get the odd glimpse. Set up to go, just in case I'm lucky.

Same where I am too in the CBD at Uni. Looks clear past the Hills below the sun. It will burn off, I can see lots of blue sky amongst the cloud. Will just miss first contact tho! Enjoy the view everyone!

Looks like i'll be snuggled up in front of the fireplace.Seems like the rain gods are exacting their revenge on me.Dentist is cancelled as the weather is playing havoc with my back, so it could be worse . Hope ya'll catch a break

[Paul Haese]

Latest Sat picture is looking ok, cloud bank moving over Adelaide but breaking up behind the hills zone down near Narracoorte. One or two hows we should see that break here. Stay tuned. BTW SKIPPY SKY IS WRONG!

[psyke777]

The clouds were below the sun in Sydney for the start. Yay!
I am attaching a very poor picture taken with a hand held camera.

Wow nice first pic, sun up at 7.14 in Perth So I can't wait

[mithrandir (Andrew)]

At home in Castle Hill. Missed 1st contact with cloud. Saw 2nd contact. DSLR now shooting at 2 min intervals.

CFO is having a look through the binos from time to time.

However we're getting intermittent showers.

[mozzie (Peter)]

walked down to the bottom of my block to get an easterly view and got both first and second contact between a bit of cloud with blue skies coming up from the south the gods must be looking down on little old moonee beach..wow what a sight cranked up my coronado 40mm with a 6.7mm to try and see if it was going to be seen in a flare before first contact but didn't see..going to get some shots with my phone as the kids want to see it...they jumped out of the car just after first to get a glimpse and were happy(but wanted to stay home).hope they remember this for the rest of there life!!!!!!!!!

At my daughters school in Armidale. 99% cloud but I have seen it Through the clouds

[dan_b85 (Dan)]

Just saw it in Perth all for 30 seconds, well worth the day off, hope to see more

[erick (Eric)]

I've had several seconds of viewing through the scope - I'm very happy.

Had a call from Melbourne. Super excited viewing by young children through IIS solar glasses. Yes, they can see the "black dot" on the Sun. A pair has been left with the childcare centre so they can all go out later this morning and look.

To think, it is possible that some of these 3 and 4 year olds may see the next transit!!
