In these tables of circumstance, I list the circumstances for locations along the centreline first
then for towns experiencing a partial eclipse. The towns experiencing partial eclipses are listed
clockwise around the continent starting in the north Darwin, Mt Isa Cooktown then working down
the east coast across the south to Perth in the west  and finishing in the center at Alice Springs.

Data format

Data comes from Xavier Jubier's Google Earth interactive eclipse circumstances tool.

The latitude and longitude are shown in degrees, minutes, seconds and converted to decimal format to the right.

Obscuration is the percentage of the area of the Sun's disk covered by the Moon

Magnitude is the percentage of the diameter of the Sun's disk covered by the Moon

Moon sun size ratio is exactly what it sounds like. 

Delta T is the difference between Terrestrial Dynamical Time and Universal Time. 
Detailed explanation of delta T : http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/deltaT.html

 Then the event details are shown.  Note the times are in Universal time. An asterisk * 
means that at the time listed for the event, the Sun is below the local horizon.

To convert Universal Time to: 

WA time                             Add 8hrs
SA/NT time                        Add 9.5hrs 
Eastern Standard Time     Add 10hrs
