The State Government has worked closely with the Shires of Exmouth, Ashburton and Carnarvon, to have provided grants to some 40 local businesses to help boost capacity in the region and invested almost $22 million dollars in infrastructure that will leave a lasting legacy, and benefit locals and tourists for years to come.

While a Total Solar Eclipse occurs somewhere on Earth every 18 months, it is incredibly rare for them to pass over land and in a place with the natural significance of our World Heritage-listed Ningaloo region.

Taking centre stage is Exmouth, which will be covered by a 40-kilometre band of totality. The normal population of about 3,000 residents has swelled to about 18,000 people.

• Perfect weather conditions for 2023 Total Solar Eclipse
• Global interest adds to local excitement
• Up to 18,000 people expected in Exmouth

Tens of thousands of people from around Western Australia, across the country and around the world have travelled to the Ningaloo region towns of Exmouth, Carnarvon, Onslow and Coral Bay to witness today’s Total Solar Eclipse.
