Sunday it's another full moon at Perigee, when it's at its closest point in its orbit around the Earth.
So it'll appear a little larger, and a little brighter than normal full moons.
Check the IceInSpace Moon Phase (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/moonphase.html) page for rise and set times for your location (requires you to be logged in and set your lat/long in your profile).
