I think you will find that the light comes from the stars - no kidding. The Milky Way produces sufficient light for me to (just) be able to read a car's number plate at my NZ dark sky sites (the NZ plates are black on white). And you were, after all, in a
dark sky reserve.
Beautiful shots
and a well deserved spectacle for someone who probably doesn't get the chance often. Did you know that particular display was seen from Kiama - saw some pics posted on Spaceweather?

Those are all 10 sec exp ISO1600 f2.8, some of the other church ones on my blog are 15 sec.
