This is taken from the Astronomical Society of Victoria website
(http://www.asv.org.au/transit.htm).
"The Astronomical Society of Victoria has arranged with the Victoria Gardens
Shopping Centre, Richmond to conduct a viewing event of this rare
astronomical event. A variety of telescopes with solar observing gear will
be available for safe solar viewing. Venus's disk should be very noticeable
in silhouette against the face of the Sun.
Date: Tuesday 8th June
Time: 2pm - Sunset.
Place:Southern end, Upper Level 6, Carpark
Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre,
cnr Victoria & Burnley Streets,
Richmond, Vic
(Melway's 44H7)
ASV members, their guests and members of the public are invited. The
Shopping Centre is at Tram Super Stop 25, Victoria St on the Port
Melbourne-Box Hill line. Catch Tram 109 in Collins Street, City. Undercover
parking is available.
The next opportunity to Observe a Transit of Venus is in June 2012 and then
the next two occur in December 2117 and December 2125 - a long wait."
Cheers.
