I've never seen the appeal of a lunar eclipse - looks just like an accelerated version of what we normally see in a lunar month - the full moon, crescent moon, new moon cycle.

A solar eclipse is a different thing - seen plenty of partial ones and n 2012 I travelled to Cairns Australia from Sydney to see a total one, this being on my bucket list.

The weather was cloudy on the morning of the eclipse, at the Esplanade where I was standing. It got dark, and then light again, but the eclipse itself was obscured by a cloud. Other than that, it was a nice few days in Cairns, but a total eclipse remains on my bucket list.

My personal experiences of Cairns:

mozzies the size of a wasp;

salties - do not come near water edge;

fat old ladies holidaying with their kids everywhere.

Maybe I went to a wrong Cairns.

I was actually in Thailand for the last half of 2012, and flew back to my home in Cairns especially to view this eclipse. It is rare to be living in a small city and have a total solar eclipse pass over where you live.

My house was at Clifton Beach at the time, and I had a short 5 minute drive to the beach to see the eclipse. Although there were some clouds about, they partarted for the duration of totality.

An awesome experience.
