Aurora Australis, Melbourne Overview

Aurora Australis, the southern hemisphere's answer to the Northern Lights, is visible from Melbourne on a modest number of nights a year, mostly around the equinoxes and during winter (May to August) solar activity. Rickett's Point in Beaumaris and the Werribee South/Point Cook coastline are the closest reliable dark-sky spots, roughly 30 to 45 minutes' drive. It's a chase rather than a guarantee: check a live aurora alert app before heading out, and expect a fainter show than Tasmania gets.
