Hi KISA

They are getting very faint atm so it will be a challenge especially with the full moon and the lights of Canberra, but good luck with it.

If you have a look at the image you will see I circled 4 stars in a straight line. I find these stars are the easiest guide to finding the comets. At 5 am they are 45-50 deg above the horizon and just north of east. If you follow them down the comets will be about the width of your fist below the bottom star and a little bit to the north.

Hope that helps and good luck.
