What to Expect:
Australia is large enough to have significant variations in weather.  We will travel from the tropical Barrier Reef to the hot, dry Outback.  December is early-summer in Australia.  The dry southern coastal region experiences daytime highs in the 80os, with lows in the 50os.  Our Outback eclipse viewing site will have daytime highs in the 100os - similar to those encountered in southern Turkey during the 1999 eclipse.  The tropical northeastern region experiences daytime highs in the 80-90os, with lows in the 70os, and a likelihood of rain.  There are no current health alerts for travel to Australia.  For up to date health information visit the Centers for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov/travel/#Geographic.

Aside from extreme heat in the Outback, this is not a strenuous trip.  There will be optional opportunities for hikes and walks throughout the tour.
