Review: Astronomy 2012 Australia

Every home needs this book because 2012 is a great year to observe a number of unique astronomical phenomena - Solar Eclipse on Nov 14th - first time it will be visible from Australia since 2002 as a TOTAL eclipse (if you're in Cape York or Cairns) but rest of Australia/NZ see a partial eclipse. Also, the transit of Venus on June 6 is worth knowing about. Venue will pass across the face of the sun and we'll see a small dot over a period of 6 hours. Transits of Venus are rare, but occur in pairs, previous occurrence was 2004. Next occurrence is 2117 ad 2125 so don't miss it this year! There is also a Lunar Eclipse on June 4th - partially visible from all Australia/NZ. It is often hard to get astronomy references relevant to the Southern Hemisphere, let alone Australia so this is a good pick up for your next camping trip.
