Pictures from Ceduna, a small town that's the last thing you get to before a huge (~1800 km) emptiness called the Nullarbor, if you choose to drive to the west coast. (It's kind of like the prairies, only emptier.) Ceduna happened to be right on the path of the moon's shadow for the eclipse, so that's where we went. We had a cloud covering half of the sun, unfortunately, so we only got half a view of totality. :-(

Apparently, aliens were also in town, possibly for the eclipse.

There was this little baby animal petting zoo. Most of the animals had been rescued; many were injured. The lambs especially were very soft.

It's still pretty cloudy at this point, though...

We're all getting pretty excited. We didn't take pictures of the actual eclipse, because we'd rather watch it for real.
