People coming upto Cairns

If there is any one coming up to Cairns for the eclipse and have no plans where to go a see it , I can offer my garden.
I tested the angle of the sun to day at about 6-15am, it was above roof tops and trees, in a couple of weeks time it will be higher in the sky …..I had a perfect view, the att pic was only a test to see if any obstruction, was nothing special just a quick snap with the camera.

just send me a private email
just found out today that even in Cairns unless you are high up, most beaches might not even see the start as it has got to come over a headland
still checking angles
