Wouldn't be surprised if we drove past each other without knowing it at times!
We stayed on the Palm Cove headland overlooking Ellis Beach but did go up and
down the Bruce Hwy a few times as far as Cape Tribulation. As posted elsewhere,
we ended up on the Mulligan Hwy the afternoon before the eclipse.
Did you have to trek back to Sydney to fly to KL or were you able to fly
there direct from Cairns?

Oh yes, not all inland are free from clouds. We were extremely lucky.
I wouldn't be surprise if we criss-crossed each other during the days leading to the eclipse!
I wish I got your mobile number, else we could've meet somewhere. I got Lachlan's so we did text a few time, but ended up meeting at Coona!
My flight from KL landed in Brisbane (no direct flight unfortunately). So I have to take Jetstar form Brisbane to Cairns.
But I was all over the place after that. From Cairns, I flew to Sydney for 2 days, before driving up to Coona for the Post Eclipse Star Safari with Lachlan. Spent 3 nights there before driving back to Sydney and stayed another 2 days, trying to complete our tour.. but 4 days is not enough! The final 3 days I was at Gold Coast, before flying back to KL last Sunday.
A hectic 2 weeks, but worth every minute of it!
