The sky gave a present while most people were in bed last week.

It was about 5am on Friday 11 October when the sky cleared the clouds away to show a beautiful aurora to the earth.

The sky danced with shades of pink and purple, dotted with stars, just before the sun rose in the distance bringing about a new day.

Healesville resident Lisa Steel and Emerald resident Tracy Dasler both provided photos taken from their houses.
