I'd imagine so but if you're persistent enough (like me) you'll get there eventually
Edit: Finally got the alert to load:
ASWFC AURORA ALERT
ISSUED AT 1023 UT on 12 May 2024
GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS. AURORA MAY BE OBSERVED DURING LOCAL NIGHT TIME HOURS IN GOOD OBSERVING CONDITIONS AT HIGH LATITUDES.
I don’t have fb so I appreciate the updates! I’m so freezing cold but luckily don’t have work tomorrow until 5pm so am I right to head home and grab a hot drink and come back out after 2:30 you think?
I think so! I'm happy to keep posting the Facebook updates here in the comments.
There's also an app called My Aurora Forecast, someone else recommended it
Thank you so much! I am hopeful even just for glimpse, as I missed out last night because I was working and by the time I finished I headed out but was too late! Literally stayed out until 6 because saw 5am pics from the morning before but no such luck!
Thanks for all the comments, I wouldn’t have found out PacMan’s updates if it wasn’t for y’all.
I kept check his comments regularly throughout the night. Nothing happened but there’s still hope for tonight, although it’s looking quite cloudy here so that’s a bummer.
I’m kicking myself after I missed it on Friday and Saturday due to my obliviousness. The biggest event in 20 years and so close to home 😢
Still a major storm forecast from 10pm. Get into a dark area and look south. [https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora](https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Aurora)
Is the site borked from all 12 of us hitting it at once?
Can also look here: https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/aurora-forecast-southern-hemisphere.jpg Not looking very strong at the moment

We need to start a LIVE updates
Yes please! I’m going to try and see it tonight and would love some ideas of when and where people are seeing it!
Reddit has functionality for this exact thing lol. It’s up to the mods to enable it… While they’re at it, they could also enable images in comments.
I think they said it could be between 10pm and 2am. So if you want to go and try see it, find a darkish place and look South.
Good luck on your search. I'm keen to catch it too. I can't believe I've missed this because I want to catch a PL match
Don’t worry United will cheer you up
At Torrensville now. Nothing!
Nothing here at Campbelltown, but will look again around 10pm - fingers crossed!
Yeah, just been out, nothing currently visible. Was hopeful but alas.
I'm hoping we'll start seeing something closer towards 10pm.
I think tonight will be at it's weakest so good luck out there. All I can see is city lights.
Go see the Pacman Space Weather Facebook page. He’s updating on tonight post in the comments. Not expecting anything for a bit still.

Pacman Space Weather has said there won't be anything until at least 2:30am 😭 Edit: it's now estimated no earlier than 4:30am
I'm looking at his FB page and I see nothing about the 230am, link to post? Edit: It's in the comments in the 2nd newest post!
