At this time of year?
In this part of the country?
Localised entirely in your kitchen?
Yes, lemmy;
I can’t see anything through these clouds :(
And I have just driven to Queensland… sigh.
How do I do this? I’m in Melbourne atm.
Do I need anything special?!
You need it to not be cloudy, for starters 😆
But even if it’s not cloudy, light pollution can also be an issue, so it might help to head further out of the city (see: https://darksitefinder.com/map/?i=/%234/-37.84/144.94)
Basically, if you can’t see the stars, you can’t see the aurora.
The only equipment that can help you ‘see’ it better would be taking a long exposure with a camera.

Non cloud, then get your phone camera and long exposure night shot.
You will see the Hugh in the pic
According to BOM aurora won’t be visible - https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora/3/1. On the other hand there was a huge solar flare released yesterday so maybe it will be visible.
