On the morning of September the 8th there is a nice total eclipse, the first in Australia since November 2022. which, sadly you will have to be up very early on a work Monday morning to see. this is a nice deep eclipse with totality lasting 1 hour, 22 minutes. 

Times for the eclipse at cities around Australia are below. Western Australia sees all the eclipse, Central states see the eclipse end around Nautical twilight as the sky is brightening. For the east coast totality ends around Nautical Twilight, when the sky is brightening but the eclipse will still be obvious. The eclipse ends after Civil Twilight when the sky is bright, and around the time of moon set (strictly the eclipse has not ended, I have not included the times of the penumbra phases). You will see some sites calling this a “blood Moon”, The Moon does not turn the colour of blood but will go a deep copper colour due to the refraction of red light through our atmosphere.

A guide I wrote for the October 2014 lunar eclipse to taking photos of the eclipse is here. And here is a more general (and more recent) link to lunar photography with mobile phones and adapters that is useful for mobile phone imaging of the eclipse.
You can also use this eclipse to show the earth is not flat.  
See here for a map and contact timings in Universal Time for sites outside Australia.
