... and the world went dark.

For those of you into things like a total eclipse, 2012 will be the year you should plan your visit to Oz. One of the best places to view the 2012 November eclipse will be in far north Queensland. Cairns or Port Douglas are a couple of nice tourist areas if that's your thing and the eclipse will be happening right over them.

Here is a map of the path.

Start packing.

Do you have room to put us all up for the night?

Sure, bring your tent.

Only problem, my place is about 2500 kilometres too far south to see the eclipse.

Also, I'll probably be up there.

2500 k's in OZ is considered walking distance, from what I gather.

Looks like we're only going to get a partial eclipse around here.

You could probably swim over to Norfolk Island from the northern tip of your place. You'd get a pretty good view from there.

You always want to see me do things the hard way.

Why can't I just ride a boat to Norfolk mate?

Just looking after your welfare mate, don't want to see you get fat and lazy!

And to think, I was just starting to feel good about myself.

Off to do more pushups....
