TL;DR Summary

Exmouth, a small town in rural northwest Australia, is hoping that the once-in-a-decade solar eclipse on April 20th will kick off a tourism boom that lasts well beyond the eclipse. The town, which has 3,000 residents, will swell to 20,000 this week. The Ningaloo area has been working on its eclipse-related tourism offerings for more than a year, including outdoor music performances, stargazing tours, photography lessons, and astronomy education programs for kids. The local Baiyungu community has organized the first-ever Jamba Nyinayi Festival, which includes Indigenous storytelling, music, dance, food, and fire.
