Aurora Australis

The other night Tony messaged me that there should be aurora visible, even from here.

So I looked out the back window.  Couldn't see anything.  In fact it wasn't really even dark yet.  Plus we have a heap of city light.  I took a few snaps on my phone anyway, and wouldn't you know it, there was pink stuff in the sky.  So I pulled out the "real" camera (with the 24-105 L series lens because it's brighter) and got some snaps.
