Hundreds of residents in a Western Australian town will be allowed to offer accommodation to visitors for a total solar eclipse scheduled for next year in 2023.

Exmouth, a small town in WA’s north with a population of about 2,000, will be one of the best viewing spots in the world for the Ningaloo Eclipse on April 20, 2023, which is expected to attract over 20,000 visitors.
