Ceduna is a fisherman's paradise with anglers on Ceduna's jetty frequently catching good hauls of Garfish, Salmon, Snook, Tommy Ruff, Blue Swimmer Crabs and the occasional squid.
Ceduna squid makes a good all purpose bait that can be bought from local supermarkets and sports stores. Best fishing times are usually an hour or so before and after high tide.

Take a nice stroll to the end of the jetty at Murat Bay, one a nice day - one might get lucky and get a view of the whales as the migrate to warmer waters.
Other pastimes include fishing or simply do what I did - grab a book and enjoy the sun .

The rarest, most amazing sight in nature. In reality the moon looked far larger than this. It was the most astonishing, bizarre thing it is possible to imagine. The drop in the light levels was extraordinary. Thankfully there was a gap in the clouds. People on the nearby peninsula of Cape Thevenard had their view obscured.

Totality approaches - You can't see the moon, but about 93% of the sun is obscured here, and the light levels have dropped dramatically, but in a very different way to a sunset. It is more like an artificial light being dimmed. It is absolutely bizarre. The clouds were clearing all the time as this picture was taken.

If you want to do this here, you are a bit late! But the Eclipse was a phenomenal experience - see a total eclipse if ever you can. Fortunately, if you are in South Australia there will be ones not so far from Ceduna in 2030 and 2038. The Next Australian one can be seen in Cairns or over the Great Barrier reef in 2012. The light here is just starting to dim and look a bit strange. Clouds had been around all day and around 5pm it looked unlikely that we would see the eclipse. Thankfully by this time (7.30pm) it was clearer.

When looking at the partial phase of an eclipse, do not look directly at the sun. Use proper filters like Mylar (not photographic film, unless it is black and white film, or smoked glass!) or use indirect viewing methods like a pinhole camera. Welders glasses are ok. Always check for scratches on eclipse glasses. If any light gets through, don't use them. During totality it is safe to look because no sunlight is visible.

There simply isn't any single word in the dictionary that can describe the feeling in Ceduna during the wee hours of the morn.

Far from the tourist heartlands of Australia, Ceduna suddenly became a place people from all over the World wanted to visit. For 32 seconds there was no better place to be on Earth.

Favorite thing: The name Ceduna comes from the Aboriginal word for "resting place." People are most likely to visit en route between Adelaide and Perth, with Ceduna being the last stop before the vast Nullarbor plain is crossed.
Fondest memory: The local council and townspeople put on a great show and handled the eclipse event very well.
