Places outside totality (Not yet calculated - watch this space)
In 26 years Australia will witness 6 total solar eclipses, probably not a record, but pretty impressive nonetheless. There are plenty of crossing places where, if you live, you will see 2 eclipses from the same spot. There are no places where 3 intersect though.
If you want to see two successive total eclipses in 2037 and 2038 from the same location, you will have to go to Point Robert in Australia or pop across to New Zealand:
and find your way to this tiny piece of New Zealand:
