Western Australia (WA) will be the prime location in the world to view a total solar eclipse (TSE) due to take place a year from now, so the state government is investing $19.3 million to organise an event surrounding the rare occurrence.

WA is expected to see a major increase in international and domestic visitors to observe this natural phenomenon, which will see the sun, moon, and earth align at 11.27am on April 20, 2023.
