Swathes of natural fluorescent red, pink and yellow lights could be seen from Bilgola Beach Sydney as the natural light display Aurora Australis appeared, Monday night. Parts of Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales can at the moment glimpse the aurora, which is also known as Southern Lights.
The phenomenon is caused by solar flares, which collide with energy particles in the earth's magnetic field and can only be seen in the high latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere.
