   PQ>RN> On the morning of Nov. 14th (Australia time), about an hour after   
   PQ>RN> sunrise, the Moon will pass directly in front of the sun. Residents   
   PQ>RN> and visitors of the city of Cairns, also known as the Gateway to the   
   PQ>RN> Great Barrier Reef, will enjoy an early morning eclipse lasting 2   
   PQ>RN> minutes with the sun only 14 degrees above the eastern horizon.   
       
   PQ> Yikes!  So close and yet, so far!  That's over 900 miles away for me.   
   PQ> For two minutes?  And, what ungodly hour?  Why can't they schedule these   
   PQ> things for a civilised hour?  :)  Not this time around.   
       
   What time is sunrise down there?  (-:   
       
   PQ> Thanks anyway, Roger.   
       
   You're welcome!   
       
   PQ> ... I love the smell of Echomail in the morning.   
       
   Stolen!
