📍[Trip Moment Title]:Chasing the Southern Lights in Tasmania – A Magical Aurora Adventure! 🌌✨
In July this year, I was lucky enough to rush to Tasmania to chase the aurora. Really! You must see the Southern Lights once in your life. I was so moved that I cried😭💜!
I heard that May to August is the aurora season in Tasmania, so I booked a flight to the southern hemisphere decisively. As a result, we really ran into KP8! The exploding pink and purple sky seemed to enter a magical world🧚♀️
🚗You can chase the light by self-driving or chartering. The following places are highly recommended:
🌌 Bruny Island
Squatting at the beach + eating oysters to your heart's content, we took pictures of the aurora and blue tears in the same frame at night, a god-level experience!
⛰️ Cradle Mountain
It is strongly recommended to stay in a cabin in the scenic area! We opened the window in the room and saw the aurora reflected on the lake, as beautiful as a dream✨
🏖️ Kingston Beach
Lazy people's gospel~ Picnic on the beach and wait for the aurora, only 15 minutes drive from Hobart!
🎿 Central Highlands Great Lake
The temperature here is much lower than other places, but when the aurora comes, the lake surface instantly turns into a dreamy purple mirror, which is beautiful!
📸 Tips: Remember to check the Kp value on the Aurora APP. Generally, if Kp≥6, you have a good chance of seeing it! It is recommended to prepare warm clothes, headlights, and tripods. You can also take pictures of the aurora with your mobile phone📱
🌟We followed the local aurora tour group. The itinerary was easy and we didn’t have to worry about the route. We also met a group of friends who love taking pictures. It was super fun to wait for the aurora while playing!
📍If you are also planning to come to Tasmania, don’t hesitate, now is the best time! It’s definitely worth the trip to catch this Southern Lights explosion~🌌💫

This July, I took a leap and flew to Tasmania just to chase the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) – and wow, it was beyond magical! 😭💜
From May to August, Tasmania often experiences strong aurora activity, and we were lucky enough to catch a KP8 burst! The sky lit up in shades of purple and pink – absolutely unforgettable!
🚗 Whether you’re self-driving or joining a local tour, here are my top aurora-spotting spots across Tassie:
🌌 Bruny Island
We spotted the aurora and bioluminescent plankton on the same night – double jackpot! Plus, the fresh oysters during the day are a bonus! Tip: Last ferry to the island is at 8PM.
⛰️ Cradle Mountain
Highly recommend staying in one of the cozy cabins inside the park. We saw the aurora reflected in Dove Lake right from our window – pure magic!
🏖️ Kingston Beach
Just a 15-minute drive from Hobart – we laid on the sand and watched the lights dance above. Perfect for a chill night picnic while aurora-hunting.
🎣Central Highlands (Great Lake)
Colder than the coast, but the reflection of the lights on the lake turns the entire area purple during a burst – breathtaking view!
📸 Pro Tips:
• Use the Aurora or My Aurora Forecast app to track KP levels – anything KP6 or higher gives you a good shot
•Bring a tripod, headlamp, and dress warmly (like you’re heading to the Arctic!)
• Even phones can capture aurora with night mode or manual settings
🌟 I joined a local guided tour, which made everything easier – from planning the best viewing spots to meeting other fun aurora chasers. Highly recommended if you want a hassle-free experience!
📍If you’re planning a trip to Tasmania, now’s the perfect time to go! The aurora is peaking, and trust me – it’s a bucket-list moment you’ll never forget. 🌌💫
