It’s Good Friday tomorrow and the pubs will be closed anyway. If you’re living at a latitude similar to or south of Sydney, get your butt outside and go look up at the sky.
If you want specific information about which regions near you the aurora are visible from, try this thread in the ABC science forum.
…but I live in Brisbane. 
Thanks for the tip reprise, I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
I live in Port Lincoln in S.A. which is pretty well south.
http://www.spaceweather.com/ monitors solar flares, meteor storms, and other such. You can use the “subscribe…” link near the top of the page to sign up for an e-mail warning of when something like a coronal mass ejection occurs, so’s you know when to go outside and look up.
Fair warning, though - I get a lot of false alarms from them. But when you see a real aurura, it’s worth it!
We had a perfect, pitch black, still, freezing night - up until about 9pm when the clouds rolled in and totally destroyed any chance of viewing the aurora.
I’m checking the science forum at the ABC to see whether anyone had better luck - if so, I’ll link to the pics.

Here’s a whole page of aurora observations:
http://www.spacew.com/www/auroras.html
The owner of the site has said he would welcome reports from anywhere, including the Southern Hemisphere. There was one from the South Pole when I last looked.
You can get a free subscription to an e-mail notification of possible aurora here: http://www.skypub.com/news/astroalert/astroalert.html . However, it has a lot of subscribers, so the notification you receive may be delayed.
Hey I’m pretty far from Australia, but a couple weekends ago I was out in the sticks in Gilroy, California and saw the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life. The sky was deep, deep reddish purple, and was MOVING. Took my breath away! Me and the friends I was with just stood there totally speechless.
Auckland, NZ here – not much in the way of aurora reports 'cause of [sub](damn and blast)[/sub] clouds, the tail of a storm-front etc.
I remember seeing one a few years back, though. Couldn’t believe it was an aurora because usually we’re too far north here. But it was. And it was ethereally beautiful …
Damn. I did see a glow in the sky, but it was probably the used car yards on Canterbury Road. Must be too far norf, like.
