I'm in the north of Tasmania, and can confirm they're not visible here.
Even in the south of the island/state, I think we're still much too far north.

To give an idea of how from from the pole we are, the average daytime winter temperatures here are about 12-13 degrees celsius and nights only drop below freezing maybe a 20 times in a year.
Snow can be seen on the mountain tops an hours drive away and I've heard rumour it actually snowed here about 13 years ago (melted before hitting the ground).

So, compare that with a location somewhere in the northern hemisphere for a rough guide on how far it is.
