Aurora possible on 24-25 August
On August 22 two large M-class flares fired off from the Sun. They produced two coronal mass ejections which should impact Earth sometime between early evening on August 24 (Wednesday) or early in the morning of the 25th (Thursday). Minor storms are predicted for high latitudes (Tasmania, Southern New Zealand, Australian Antarctic Territories) on these days, and there is a possibility that aurora could be seen from Southern Victoria. Aurora can strike any time, although the best time to look to the south is after local midnight. Aurora may look like a pinkish glow with moving spikes in it when seen from Victoria, not the massive sheets of colour they see in Antartica.
