The solar eclipse in Australia during 2012 is really only visible from the coast in far North Queensland, which includes areas north of Cairns to Port Douglas. The solar eclipse will not really have good visibility from the Atherton Tablelands in Australia as other solar eclipse tour sites are mentioning.

The second solar eclipse of 2012 is the solar eclipse Australia will see, with all us here in Port Douglas looking forward to putting a spectacular event on for the world to see for not only the eclipse but for all the tour, accommodation and travel options Australia’s premier travel spot offers. With 25 years of tourism experience, this is the town you want to witness this event in.

The only populated and the first region in the path of the solar eclipse in Australia lies along the east coast of North Queensland. Gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Port Douglas is right on the ‘red line’ with Four Mile Beach an amazing area to view the total solar eclipse in Australia on the 14th November 2012.

Local weather conditions will play a fair role in choosing a solar eclipse viewing site with Four Mile beach and Wangetti beach great areas to view this event.
