Beautiful! I remember seeing the Aurora from Canberra some time in the late '90s (I must have missed the '89 one).
I was out in my front yard with my trusty Astroscan when I noticed it some time around midnight. I went next door to see if my neighbour was still awake because I knew he'd be interested, but there was no response to my quiet knocking, so I assumed he was asleep. I spent the next hour or so just watching it in awe.
The next day I learned that my neighbour spent the an hour hunting around his house with a machete, trying to find the intruder he had heard!!
