Hi All,
I was testing motion control for time lapse at Flinders last night and caught a glimpse of Aurora (around 11pm AEST 2012-Jan-16). It continued later when the Noon was up but was washed out.
I kind of hoped it would show up based on the
SWPC prediction and did my test run in the Southern direction. The video is here (full screen with sound is recommended):

I think I saw it visually but it was nothing spectacular (averted vision should not be required for Aurora). The long exposure images helped to bring it out.
Exposure parameters were 30 seconds, ISO 3200, 14mm f/2.8 with Nikon D700.
Cheers,
Alex
