No, you cannot see Polaris, the North Star, from Australia, which is in the Southern Hemisphere. In fact, it would be difficult to see Polaris from anyplace south of about 10 degrees north latitude, because objects close to the horizon are difficult to see.

Polaris is the NORTH pole star. Australia is in the southern hemisphere, so for someone in Darwin to point his finger at Polaris, he'd be pointing down into the ground.

No. The Aurora Borealis is the NORTHERN lights.

However, people in Melbourne can sometimes see the Aurora Australis, the "Southern Lights".

The further south you can go, the better. So you are more likely to see them from Tasmania than from Queensland. They are not visible every night, just after especially large sunbursts.
