Today we were lucky enough to strike the only day of the year that had a solar eclipse,and there just happened to be a cosmos centre here where you could view the sun through a telescope. We got to see the sun in an eclipse where you could see the solar flares coming off it and the sun spots up close.
We also did a tour of the planetarium which was really interesting them got to have a one on one talk afterwards where we got to hold all different types of meteorites.(really awesome)
Tonight we are going for a campfire tea if beef and wine stew with damper and billy tea which should be fun. Tommorrow we are off to Blackall for a night and apparently they have a camp oven tea at that park too,so we will be enormous by the time we hit the coast.
The picture on this page is of a vortex cannon which they used to try and make rain,they would load the cannon with gunpowder then shoot it into the clouds but unfortunately it didn't work.
