Walking Tours Braitling

Witness one of nature's most breathtaking phenomena from one of Australia's most iconic and sacred landscapes.

On 22 July 2028, the Moon’s shadow will sweep across Central Australia, plunging parts of the Northern Territory into near-total darkness for almost five extraordinary minutes. A total solar eclipse is one of the rarest and most awe-inspiring natural events on Earth — and the vast, clear skies of the Red Centre provide one of the best places in Australia to experience it.

Join Emu Run Experience as we travel north from Alice Springs along the legendary Stuart Highway, journeying through the ancient landscapes of Central Australia to the Devils Marbles Hotel. Here, under some of the clearest winter skies in the country, we will witness totality at 12:48 pm.

With average cloud cover in this region typically below 10% in July, the odds of clear viewing conditions are strongly in our favour.

Travel in comfort with our friendly, accredited local guides, who will bring the science of the eclipse, the stories of the landscape, and the spirit of the Australian outback to life throughout the day.

• Scenic journey through the Australian outback along the Stuart Highway

Tour Itinerary — 1 Day Eclipse Experience

6:00 AM — Departure from Alice Springs

Your eclipse adventure begins before sunrise as we depart Alice Springs at 6:00 am. Your guide will pick you up from your Alice Springs accommodation and settle you into our comfortable, air-conditioned coach. As the first light of a winter outback morning colours the horizon, we head north along the legendary Stuart Highway — the great road that bisects Australia from Adelaide to Darwin.

8:00 AM — Morning Tea Stop at Ti Tree

Around two hours into our journey we arrive at Ti Tree for a relaxing morning tea break. Stretch your legs, grab a coffee or tea, and enjoy the wide-open skies of the outback — the perfect lead-in to today’s celestial event.

Ti Tree lies within Anmatjere Country, and your guide will share stories about the land and its people as you take a moment to relax before continuing north.

11:15 AM — Early Lunch at Devils Marbles Hotel, Wauchope

We arrive at the Devils Marbles Hotel in Wauchope for an early lunch at 11:15 am. This legendary outback pub has been a welcome stop for travellers on the Stuart Highway for generations. Enjoy a hearty lunch and take in the atmosphere of a true Australian outback roadhouse — there won't be a more memorable lunch spot in the country today.

Lunch break concludes at approximately 12:00 pm.

12:00 PM — Into the Shadow

Your guide will position the group for the best possible viewing experience at the Devils Marbles hotel. Set up a chair, relax on a blanket or position your camera for the experience.

The partial phase of the eclipse begins at 11:18 am, and by the time we arrive you will already notice the sky beginning to take on a subtle, eerie quality as the Moon slowly encroaches on the Sun. Your solar eclipse glasses will be handed out and your guide will walk you through what to expect, what to look for, and how to photograph the event safely.

12:48 PM — TOTALITY

The moment arrives. At 12:48 pm, the Moon will slip fully across the face of the Sun, plunging the sky into an otherworldly twilight for nearly 5 magnificent minutes.

The temperature will drop. The stars will emerge in the middle of the day. The solar corona — the Sun's ethereal outer atmosphere — will shimmer in the darkened sky above you. Planets will become visible. Birds may fall silent. It is, by every account, one of the most profound natural experiences a human being can have.

Eclipse Totality: 12:48 pm — 12:53 pm (approx.) Duration of totality: 4 minutes, 50 seconds Eclipse maximum magnitude: 1.027 Eclipse ends (partial phase): 2:18 pm

1:30 PM — Depart for Alice Springs

After the adrenaline of totality and a chance to reflect and share the experience together, we depart the Devils Marbles hotel at 1:30 pm for the return journey south along the Stuart Highway.

As the afternoon unfolds across the outback landscape, your guide will be on hand to share reflections on the day and answer any questions. It's the perfect time to sit back, review your photos, and simply absorb the magnitude of what you've just witnessed.

6:00 PM — Return to Alice Springs

We arrive back in Alice Springs at approximately 6:00 pm, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation — tired, exhilarated, and carrying memories that will last a lifetime.
