You might have more sense than me and want to stay longer....

 Oops... Make that "in time to return to work on Thursday".  The Eclipse is on the morning of the 
14th down-under not the 13th.  My bad.  
I do have this right I hope...  The sun rises off the East coast of Cairns?  Meaning all I will need is a good look out at the Ocean and I'll have a clear view of the eclipse (weather permitting of course)
