The absence of light will give all the Aussies a grey pallor, not dissimilar to the walking dead ............  so no change from the usual "post barby" Monday then!!  {-) :kiss:

No luck with photos, but worth a try. <:( <:( <:(
 
We will only view 86% of the eclipse in Brisbane but still awesome.
Cairns, where the total eclipse was viewed, is a further 1703 kilometres north.
