It begins in the Indian Ocean, crossing over Australia’s Cocos (Keeling), and Christmas Islands. After sweeping Western Australia’s northern Kimberley coast, the eclipse makes landfall in the Kimberley region before travelling across central Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. It then passes over Sydney before heading out to New Zealand.

The Total Solar Eclipse will occur on Saturday 22 July 2028. Maximum totality is expected at around 11am, with the exact time varying slightly depending on where within the Kimberley the eclipse is viewed. A partial eclipse will be visible for around 1½ hours before and after totality.

The Kimberley is Western Australia’s northern most region, representing one sixth of the State’s land mass. Covering around 420,000km², the region is bigger than Germany, and nearly twice as big as Victoria, Australia. It is a remote region with approximately 40,000 residents across its vast area, and is famous for stunning landscapes, wilderness experiences, and rich Aboriginal culture.
