Carl D suggested that there was not going to be a display of any more than 30% solar eclipse in my area. But, it might be enough to see what kind of effect this will have on the sunlight reaching my town.

Unfortunately, the October 14th solar eclipse won't be visible from anywhere in Australia, it will be about the middle of the night here and the Sun and Moon will be on the opposite side of the Earth from us.

If we could see it from here there still wouldn't be any eclipse visible, this screenshot from Stellarium shows how close the Moon would get to passing in front of the Sun (I had to remove the ground to see it, of course).

This view is from Perth at about 1:30am and I played around with also looking at it from other parts of Australia - Hobart, Sydney and Darwin and the view is almost the same for all of them.

(The Moon is moving roughly from left to right in relation to the Sun in this image)

Times like this we need to go back to the flat earth system.

The eclipse next week

Is this next week or was that last week ?

This Thursday, April 20th. Solar eclipse is visible from most of Australia. Total eclipse in Exmouth, WA. Partial for the rest of the country.

Next one is October 14th which won't be visible from Australia due to it being in the middle of the night for us (and the Moon isn't going to pass in front of the Sun - even by a small amount - as seen from here even if we could see it).

Atmosphere removed in the second image. The Moon is moving roughly from top to bottom in relation to the Sun. Might make myself a pinhole camera to view it... and the weather is going to be perfect, sunny and 27 degrees forecast.
