Where to look
At 10:47 AM the Sun is towards the north-northeast, 33° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
The light dims a little, though without eclipse glasses you might not notice. Through the glasses the Sun looks like a thick crescent at maximum.
For totality, the nearest place in this guide is Wyndham, 2,211 km away, with about 3 min 20 sec.
