💡 Tips
- Alice Springs, Melbourne and Brisbane are outside totality (partial only, computed) — travel into the path.
- Plan for winter weather; inland and northern sites have better odds than the east coast.
- Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or solar filters for every partial phase; only remove them during totality.
