The viewing of Aurora Australis is dependent upon the conditions for its generation being favourable. There needs be a sufficient supply of charged particles coming from the Sun, and of course suitable viewing conditions.
Currently, there is quite a low sunspot number, and hence a low probability of seeing the Aurora. As the number increases, or if there arrives a giant sunspot, then the possibility is better.
