Today’s mobile office took us up to Mitchell Falls. Pretty impressive with all the floods recently. A lovely swim after a bit of a walk.

Tomorrow morning after a beach and bush walk, the ”office” will be heading to Asmore Reef for the total eclipse of the sun. We have the Australian government’s Astronomer-at-Large ( yes, his real title!) on board to present some lectures. Fred is an excellent speaker and makes physics sound like fun.
We shall see the one minute of total eclipse and all three hours of the moon’s progression across the face of the sun. We also have a National Geographic photographer on board. Sister ship Coral Geographer will also be at Ashmore Reef, chartered by NASA.
