There was Aurora visible from Wollongong last night (Wednesday 7 January 2015). Rudi captured these images from Gerroa, where the Aurora was easily visible with the naked eye (colour and all)... despite the nearly-full Moon!
Rudi also assembled a short time-lapse video of last night's Aurora Australis, which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnqcKsFBLfE.
To fully appreciate how spectacular this Aurora was, please scroll all the way down the page, to see a photo from David Finlay. David could not get away in time and had to observe the Aurora from the city of Wollongong. Even shooting through all that light pollution, and directly into a streetlight, the red auroral glow is unmistakable!
