Geomagnetic storm in progress.

Keep your eyes on the sky for aurora tonight.

It's cloudy here atm, but could clear up later.

You're in Hobart? I'm assuming it won't get as high as Queensland then

Oh well.

Cloudy here in Lonny, but every night so far it's cleared around 8PM. Here's hoping.

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew how cold it is here tonight.

Last week, I saw a site that said and showed images in NSW highlands of Aurora. Apparently the CME of last week caused quite a lot of magnetic interference and resulted in Aurora being seen in higher latitudes. There was even one shot taken in Sydney. So just keep an eye out for those predictions.
