Why Bicheno

Tasmania's east coast pairs dark skies with a low sea horizon for southern displays.

How much activity you need here

At 41.9° geographic latitude, aurora typically becomes visible here once the planetary Kp index reaches about 9. Stronger geomagnetic storms push the oval overhead and light up more of the sky.

Best time to go

The southern aurora season runs from mid-March to late September, when the long southern-hemisphere nights give real darkness. Midsummer (December–January) is too bright for aurora at these latitudes.
