Malcolm,
There are some good easy to access southern facing spots within easy reach just south of Hobart that are frequented by the local aurora chasers. Tinderbox Beach, Howden boat ramp forshore and Trial Bay are all within 30 minutes of central Hobart. For elevated spots consider Mt Nelsom Signal Station (not sure if you would see faint aurora from there as there may be too much local city light) or Mt Wellington right on Hobart's doorstep.
Cheers
Steve
