Experience over five minutes of totality in Western Australia after immersing yourself in the rugged beauty and rich heritage of its outback.

Your journey will be led by renowned astronomer and eclipse-chaser Jamie Carter, who will be with you throughout, delivering fascinating talks, detailed eclipse briefings and guided stargazing sessions under the pristine southern hemisphere skies.

Begin your adventure in Darwin, a laid-back yet vibrant city celebrated for its tropical lifestyle and cultural diversity. From there, venture into the lush landscapes of Litchfield National Park, famous for its cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear swimming holes and towering termite mounds. Discover the park’s ecology, geology and Indigenous heritage with your local guide and enjoy a refreshing dip in its natural pools.

Next, settle in Kununurra, a charming outback town that blends wilderness, culture and character. As the gateway to Western Australia’s natural wonders and some of the darkest night skies on Earth, it offers an unparalleled opportunity for celestial observation. Here, Jamie will help you unlock the secrets of the cosmos in skies of extraordinary clarity.

For the eclipse itself, we’ve chosen a historic outback station in the Kimberley region, perfectly positioned near the line of totality. This tranquil rural oasis provides catering and endless space to spread out and savour the awe-inspiring spectacle of the solar eclipse.
