This eclipse begins its path in the Atlantic Ocean, crossing southern Africa and the southern Indian Ocean before making its first Australian landfall on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula; late afternoon local time. The path continues across rural and outback South Australia, including the Gawler Ranges and the Flinders Ranges, into the "corner country" of outback New South Wales and then into outback and rural southern Queensland before leaving the Earth's surface.
The entire ~1800 kilometre long path of total eclipse through Australia is traversed by the Moon's shadow in a few minutes. Towns and locations within the path include Streaky Bay, Sceale Bay, Venus Bay, Poochera, Wudinna, Wirrula, Hawker, Rawnsley Park, Wilpena, Parachilna, Beltana, Blinman, the entire Gawler Ranges National Park, the entire Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, Tibooburra, Milparinka, Hungerford (again), Cunnamulla, Surat and Miles.

Eclipse viewing in Australia on 25 November 2030

Locations that see this total eclipse will also see about an hour of partial solar eclipse beforehand. After the total eclipse there's another hour of partial solar eclipse. South Australian locations will see all of it, but sunset will interrupt it for locations in New South Wales and Queensland. Locations east of Miles, at the very end of the total eclipse path in southeast Queensland, will see this total eclipse at sunset...so atmospheric refraction on the day will affect its visibility (or not) in these places. Outside of the total eclipse path the rest of Australia will only see a partial solar eclipse. Which will be interrupted by sunset for locations in Queensland, the eastern half of New South Wales and the northeastern third of Northern Territory.
