The shadow crosses the Kimberley, Northern Territory, south-west Queensland and New South Wales before passing directly over Greater Sydney.
A near-centerline Kimberley benchmark with about five minutes of totality and one of the strongest long-range weather signals on the Australian track.
Open guide →A serviced Kimberley base inside totality with high Sun altitude and strong long-range weather prospects, but materially shorter totality than centerline locations farther west.
Open guide →A practical Stuart Highway base with strong winter weather prospects and good road-mobility logic for last-day repositioning.
Open guide →An iconic Central Australian landscape close to the centerline benchmark, with roughly 4 minutes 50 seconds of totality and strong winter climate logic.
Open guide →A remote south-west Queensland option with long totality and a still-high Sun, suited to self-sufficient travelers who prefer inland climate over city logistics.
Open guide →A south-west Queensland path town with more than four minutes of totality and useful road options toward inland New South Wales.
Open guide →A strong inland New South Wales balance point: four minutes of totality, better long-range weather logic than the coast, and useful road-mobility options.
Open guide →A regional-city option with nearly 3 minutes 46 seconds of totality, strong services and excellent road flexibility for forecast-driven repositioning.
Open guide →The iconic easy-access choice: Greater Sydney lies in the path of totality, with an AAQ benchmark of about 3 minutes 44 seconds, but coastal weather is the key trade-off.
Open guide →Australia offers the widest strategic range: remote near-centerline sites, serviced inland road-trip bases and a major world city all lie inside totality. That makes a true Plan A/B/C structure possible.
ASA guidance shows generally better long-range cloud prospects toward north-western Australia. The east coast is operationally easier but should carry a larger weather-flexibility penalty.
