Eclipse from Baniyala Homeland on the shores of Blue Mud Bay in Arnhemland

[iceman (Mike)]

These great pics were sent to me by Pat Ellis, the Principal at Baniyala Garrangali School in the NT.

They ordered some IceInSpace Eclipse Glasses and watched the eclipse at sunrise, from Baniyala Homeland on the shores of Blue Mud Bay in Arnhemland. Would've been an amazing sight with the sun even lower on the horizon.

From Pat:

we had a wonderful eclipse experience here this morning … the total eclipse was practically in our playground … seemed to be almost close enough to touch … thanks for all of your support and assistance … I’ve attached a couple of piccies for you … we had the whole of our small community in their eclipse glasses watching the show … they were transfixed …

It's great to hear of these success stories, especially seeing all the kids with the IceInSpace Eclipse Shades!
