Remember that an aurora is a magnetic and solar wind phenomenon, so you only
need to go to the magnetic poles. And the bigger the aurora, the bigger the
auroral circle - you can't see really big auroras in Antarctica as the
auroral circle is below the horizon (on Australian bases anyway).
I've got to get my finger out and scan some more aurora slides for the web.

No...but having just done a Google on it, I'm about
to. Thanks. One of the my "101 Things to do before
I die" (Did anyone else see that 'New Scientist'
booklet?) is see the Aurora from somewhere close
to the polar regions (the South, or Jukkasjârvi in
Sweden would be nice :) ). I'm not helping my chances
of seeing "Australis" by being likely to move to north
to Queensland in the next view years.
