Australia opening in "Aurora enhanced" low band propagation

This afternoon Aurora was reported. Could it be that tonight there was a chance  for propagation to VK on 160 and 80 m ?  I was expecting this at sunset/ sunrise in Australia And could  you believe it, this type of propagation seems a bit predictable! Many weeks  we hardly  saw DX  above 1000km in Europe on low bands. it is very clear that weak aurora temporary opens the low band DX path by sweeping away the summer D-layer absorption. Thanks to WSPR this rare type of propagation was noticed.
