The scientific name "Epsaltria australis" refers to a species commonly known as the Australasian bittern. It is a large, secretive bird found in wetland habitats across Australia and parts of New Zealand. This species is known for its distinctive booming call and cryptic plumage, which helps it blend into its marshy surroundings. Conservation efforts are important for its survival due to habitat loss and degradation.

The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's southern hemisphere. It occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field and create stunning displays of light in the sky, similar to the Northern Lights in the northern hemisphere.

The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis

Sea explorer Matthew Flinders was the one who first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", as a result of his circumnavigation of the continent. He suggested the name in his book "A voyage to Terra Australis", which was published in the year he died, in 1814. The name Australia was adopted in 1824. Prior to this, the continent was known as Terra Australis Incognita, or the Unknown Southern Land.
