Australia 2012

Cross Australia by Train with Astronomer Seth Shostak

It’s the down-under wonder: the Indian Pacific Railway. For three days and nights, this fabled train will haul you across the spectacular southern landscapes of Australia, crossing from one coast to the other.
The Indian Pacific is just one component of an unforgettable trip to the land of koalas and kangaroos to see the total solar eclipse of November 14, 2012. It’s your chance to join SETI Institute senior astronomer and Big Picture Science host Seth Shostak on a journey that will make you the envy of your friends, and might finally garner some respect from your in-laws.
