Last night, the Southern sky over the Bellarine Peninsula came alive with a rare and breathtaking display of the Aurora Australis. For those lucky enough to be watching—and for those of us behind the lens—it was a moment of quiet awe, where cosmic wonder met coastal stillness.
The first image captures the aurora’s ethereal ascent, with violet and green ribbons unfurling above a silhouetted tree and antenna. There’s something deeply grounding about the juxtaposition: the raw electricity of the sky meeting the quiet domesticity of a backyard. It’s a reminder that even in familiar places, the extraordinary can unfold.
The second photo shifts the perspective to a residential scene bathed in celestial colour. The bright streetlamp bursts like a terrestrial star, anchoring the composition while the aurora glows above in gradients of purple and green. Rooftops, trees, and antennas frame the scene, echoing the theme of cosmic beauty nestled within everyday life.
The third image is pure galactic poetry. The Milky Way stretches diagonally across the sky, its dusty arc illuminated in hues of indigo and violet. The aurora’s glow lingers near the horizon, while silhouetted foliage adds depth and intimacy. It’s a portrait of the universe as seen from our little corner of the world—a reminder of how vast and beautiful the night can be.
These images weren’t just photographs. They were moments of connection—between sky and sea, light and shadow, wonder and witness. The Bellarine Peninsula, already rich in natural charm, became a stage for one of Earth’s most elusive performances. And for one night, the stars danced just for us.

If you’re local and missed it, keep your eyes on the southern horizon. The aurora doesn’t announce itself—it arrives quietly, like a secret shared between the cosmos and those who dare to look up.
