The best location to view the solar eclipse will be on Four Mile Beach and Wangetti beach just north of cairns. These solar eclipse viewing platforms will be well equipped to hold a number of people and the solar eclipse viewing equipment for all the professional viewers as well as the general public wanting to witness this spellbinding event.

Some of the public solar eclipse viewing platforms have already been booked by some companies offering viewing packages, so maybe just check that your desired area for viewing the solar eclipse is not already full and cordoned off.

Some operators are saying that solar eclipse viewing platforms will be good in the mountains. Be careful with this information as from all reports the solar eclipse is early in the morning and will be quite low in the sky. Again the solar eclipse viewing platforms which are proposed on the Tablelands may also have some viewing interference.

Some of the best solar eclipse viewing platform packages can be found at www.2012solareclipse.com.au and include transfers form the airport, accommodation, tours over a 5 to 9 day period and would be a great to why to see the tropical north of Australia while you witness a truly breath taking experience that is the solar eclipse.
