Why this one is special
- ◐3 minutes 58 seconds of totality over tropical Queensland.
- ◐Dry season means the most reliable July weather in the southern hemisphere.
- ◐The path also clips Uluru and central Australia.
- ◐Reef and rainforest sit side by side under the same shadow track.
Where to watch it from
Wild, wide-horizon places inside or beside the path of totality.
