1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Joining us from the Community and Cultural Development manager for 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: the Town of Canarvin, Stephanie Lecker. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: Hello, thanks for joining us seventy. 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 3: Good morning, thanks for having me. 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: We get so excited about eclipses. Maybe it's the it's 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: all in the you know, the forbidden that don't look 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: at it. 8 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: Yea, possibly, yeah, I don't know. 9 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: Tell us about the solar eclipse on April twenty and 10 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: why Canarvan's one of the best places to witness it. 11 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 3: So Canarmen's going to witness ninety seven percent of the 12 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 3: totality experience. The Exmouth will obviously see the full totality, 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 3: but it can will be ninety seven percent. That's probably 14 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: one of the closest locations to experience it. Was the 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: Exmouth is going to be quite chaotic and there's lots 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 3: of people traveling to the region. So Canarden's position SLVES 17 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: is the second best location to experience it. 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 4: Okay, I've got this theory that that primary school. I 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 4: remember they used to wheel a black and white TV 20 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 4: and it all am black and white TV into the classrooms, 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 4: so none of us would look up, but we'd see 22 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 4: the eclipse on TV in the classroom. So I reckon 23 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 4: that's part of the reason people traveling for all over 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 4: the place for this one. Stephanie might be part of 25 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 4: the reason. 26 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, so obviously lots of people have you know, there's 27 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 3: lots of people interested, there's people from all over the 28 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: world coming over. Obviously our community in the Western Australian 29 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: community being well prepped to come over and experience it. 30 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: Obviously there's lots of safety things to consider. Obviously we've 31 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: got plenty of glasses in the region. But certainly just 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: the overall experience of you know, starting at ten o'clock 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: we should experience that, you know, the sky is starting 34 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,279 Speaker 3: to get slightly darker. And then obviously about eleven twenty 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 3: six is when we'll experience complete darkness. So it's not 36 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 3: just that a few seconds that will complete darkness, that 37 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: before and after experience as well. 38 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: People do travel the world for these kind of events, 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: so it is going to be a bustling place. I 40 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: hope that Bumbacks has made some extra chutneys too. And 41 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: if you don't know what I mean by that, when 42 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: you're in Caernarvon, you must check out the chutney, the 43 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Bumbag chutney. 44 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: Place they do. 45 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, I had the yes, mango smoothi I've ever 46 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: had in my life in that place. 47 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can still remember it now. 48 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: The town is marking the occasion in some very special ways. 49 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: You've wrangled the Perth Symphony Orchestra. 50 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: Oh nice, we have indeed, So once the sun comes back, 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: we are going to have a little bit of a 52 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: party in the main street, which we're pretty excited about. 53 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: So yeah, we will have the person in the orchestra 54 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: and invited guest.
