The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
Sun seekers young and old flocked to Davis Bay on Aug. 21 to view the solar eclipse. The moon passed between the earth and the sun at mid-morning, covering about 85 per cent of the sun at this latitude. It could be seen – with special protective glasses – from anywhere, but hundreds opted to watch as part of a crowd. The Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club set up telescopes on the Davis Bay seawall, and estimated that 700 people turned up. Donna McMahon photo
