75-515: A fortnight . This eclipse is a member of a semester series . An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit. The partial solar eclipses on June 12, 2029 and December 5, 2029 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set. This eclipse is a part of Saros series 146 , repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 76 events. The series started with
100-568: A magnitude of 1.056. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun , thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over

175-710: A process to formally define their boundaries and to gazette them, which is almost complete. In March 2006, only South Australia and the Northern Territory had not completed this process. The CGNA's Gazetteer of Australia recognises two types of locality: bounded and unbounded. Bounded localities include towns, villages, populated places, local government towns and unpopulated town sites, while unbounded localities include place names, road corners and bends, corners, meteorological stations, ocean place names and surfing spots. Sometimes, both localities and suburbs are referred to collectively as "address localities". In

The first will occur on 22 July 2028 and the second on 13 July 2037 . Bedourie experiences a hot desert climate ( Köppen: BWh), with very hot summers and very mild winters, albeit with cool nights. Due to its inland location, there

The longest duration of totality was produced by member 26 at 5 minutes, 21 seconds on June 30, 1992 , and the longest duration of annularity will be produced by member 63 at 3 minutes, 30 seconds on August 10, 2659. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit. The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly
325-408: Is part of an eclipse season , a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by

Average annual rainfall is very low: 203.1 mm (8.00 in), occurring within 16.3 rainfall days, primarily in the summer. Precipitation is highly erratic: evidenced by the 319.1 mm (12.56 in) of rain falling on 6 March 2011. The town
400-411: Is the first time Sydney will experience a total solar eclipse since 26 March 1857 and will be the last until 3 June 2858. Shown below are two tables displaying details about this particular solar eclipse. The first table outlines times at which the moon's penumbra or umbra attains the specific parameter, and the second table describes various other parameters pertaining to this eclipse. This eclipse

This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to

Unlike the use in British or American English, this term can include inner-city, outer-metropolitan and industrial areas. Localities existed in the past as informal units, but in 1996 the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping and the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA) decided to name and establish official boundaries for all localities and suburbs. There has subsequently been

Bedourie Post Office opened around July 1903 ( receiving offices known as Bidouri , Bedouri and Bedourie had been open since 1887). The Diamantina Shire Council moved its headquarters from Birdsville to Bedourie in 1953. Bedourie State School opened on 16 May 1960. The current school building opened in 1967. The Bedourie Public Library had

#1732852203229550-438: The first instance, decisions about the names and boundaries of suburbs and localities are made by the local council in which they are located based on criteria such as community recognition. Local council decisions are, however, subject to approval by the state's geographical names board. The boundaries of some suburbs and localities overlap two or more local government areas (LGAs). Examples of this are Adamstown Heights , which
