Tens of thousands of intergalactic observers will congregate in and around Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas this November 2012 to witness one of the world's most unique events.

At 6:38am (local time) the morning of 14 November the sun will become completely obscured by the moon leaving an area of only 150km wide in total darkness but for an awe inspiring electric corona silhouettng the moon.

These events over time has shaped the history of the world, inspiring many of the world's first assumptions of the universe not to mention their affect on even earlier religious and spiritual beliefs.

The phenomenon that is the 2012 Total Solar Eclipse can only be seen in one place on earth – Far North Queensland Australia. It will track over a small sliver of land between Cairns and Port Douglas allowing a totality of approx 2 minutes if witnessed near the red line.

With much of the accommodation already booked in Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas by international wholesalers and eclipse enthusiasts even as early as 2006, very few opportunities are still available to witness this historic event.

Port Douglas Event Management (PDEM) in partnership with tourismportdouglas.com.au has secured the best red line viewing location, and the committment by some of the regions best 4.5 and 5 star hotels to be able to offer a limited number of 2012 Solar Eclipse Viewing & Celebration packages.
