Yes the Camera can often see them from very low latitudes. That's why most shots from Australia and NZ of the Aurora Australias have a lot of pink/red in them as they are taken from a long way North to the Aurora. In the case above the mountains blocked the green so the red was more visible from a closer distance.
Thanks. Glad you could see one. Was it Red to the naked eye?
Unfortunately no. It wasn't until I saw it after a 20 second exposure. We have a harder time this far south getting to experience bright aurora.

Yes my uncles photos of the one on the Surfcoast was reds and yellows.
