Tonight, the edge of the visible aurora according to models is about 2000km south of Melbourne. The earlier post suggested someone might pick it up in a photo. It was never likely to be visible to the eye unless the storm radically strengthened.
During winter, the pole points away from the sun. In summer, the higher latitudes have few if any hours of darkness. This applies to both hemispheres. Auroral displays tend to be most extensive around the equinoxes providing large flares also occur of course.
