Yes most certainly will ... if we have clear skies ,never seem to have a clear view when something like this happens. Might not take the deckchair out though :-D

Island

Definitely - weather permitting. Now I'm in a good location and the street lights go off at midnight I'll be outside in my reclining chair :-D :-D

Nolls, mind you don't get a crick in your neck.

A bit too light around here and I don't expect anyone else in the household will come to somewhere dark, but I have managed to see them in the past, so will definitely take a look if the sky is clear.

For those in Australia ~

The article says if you're north of Brisbane you might see one or two meteors in an hour. Darwin seems to be the best place.

It would take me two hours to drive to Brisbane......... I'm staying home :-D

Really clear sky here last night and lots of static stars to see, so I know now where to place myself to watch.
I hope it is clear tonight and that I manage to spot a few.

About 1.45 ish is supposed to be best time, I think.
