Solar Eclipse Tour in Cairns, November 2012

Witness the solar eclipse, beginning at 6:37am 14 November 2024 in Darwin. The solar eclipse shadow will sweep across the Gulf of Carpenteria and Cape York, before the central line crosses directly over Port Douglas’s Oak Beach and the Coral Sea at 6:39am. The only way to witness the full effect of this amazing act of nature is to be in the shadow’s path, particularly in it’s central line, at the exact time the moon sits in front of the sun. Cairns and Great Barrier Reef region is the only place in the world where you can experience the full effect of earth’s total solar eclipse on 14 November 2012.

A total solar eclipse occurs naturally once every couple of years however 2012 is your chance (for the next few hundred years at least) to experience this a natural phenomenon. At the same time you can visit the Great Barrier Reef and the oldest World Heritage-listed rainforests on the planet.

If you plan to make this journey, book now, because the world will be playing host to those whose obsessions are the movement and spectacles of our solar system..
