Eclipses from Hervey Bay, in short
From now to the end of 2035, Hervey Bay can see 3 solar eclipses (all of them partial unless marked otherwise) and 7 partial or total lunar eclipses. No total solar eclipse passes over Hervey Bay before 2100; to see one you will have to travel. A total solar eclipse only darkens a strip a few hundred kilometres wide, so any one place sees one every few hundred years on average, while a lunar eclipse is visible from half the planet at once.
Weather is not included: these are clear-sky predictions. A partial solar eclipse must only be watched through proper eclipse glasses or a projector; see our eye safety guide.

City times are computed by us from those Besselian elements with the standard method (Meeus, Elements of Solar Eclipses), using a current estimate of ΔT (Earth-rotation correction) instead of the Canon's older extrapolation; they agree with NASA's own calculator to 0.1 s and with an independent Skyfield/JPL DE440 computation to within 15 s.
