Back in Europe, on a clear (well... a bit hazy which exacerbates the effect of light pollution) night I captured this twin.
32 frames of 2 minutes each, preprocessed first in Adobe Raw to TIFFs, then stacked with Siril and postprocessed in Photoshop.
Unfortunately this object is not accessible from Australia, unless in far north Queensland or around Darwin very low in the sky, due to its declination of -69º.
