It's a relatively rare sight in South Australia, making Sunday's event particularly special. The phenomenon is best observed from the southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, and the southern tips of Chile and Argentina. The stunning images captured by South Australians serve as a reminder of the beauty and wonder of nature's light show, offering a moment of awe and wonder in the often-busy lives of everyday people.
