Aurora Australis delights the Hills

Andrew Kreibich was just one lucky Upwey resident to witness the Southern lights display the showed up over the weekend of 11 and 12 May.

The colourful marvel is a rare sight caused by a large geomagnetic storm which is typically seen at the North and South Pole.

First seeing a green glow on the horizon, Mr Kreibich then spotted pinks and reds as it changed and morphed.

“We had an unforgettable night, I never thought I’d see an aurora that bright in Victoria,” he said.
