The view from my "office"

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.
Fabulous experience.
 
Our German friends dropped in for a 3 day stay on their way home to Frankfurt after a fortnight driving around Tassie. Today was their last day so we had breakfast in Kings Park and then went for a short walk. Naturally we put on some PERfect weather for them.

Waiting for our turn.

Never fails to delight me when I’m above the clouds climbing to cruising altitude

Sadly, missed the shot of the jetty lights on takeoff last night - getting good night time shots with an iPhone is impossible

Had some pretty decent sunrise and sunsets over Wadi Rum 👍
