My CdeC is telling me that it will be visible in the same area of sky on the morning of the 3 July, rising at 2.30am and being visible until twilight, before heading rapidly north and disappearing from our latitude. It will also be brighter at about VMag 13 or so, rather than 14.5 on the morning of the 2nd.

I understand that it will be about mag 11 on closest approach, however that will be during the late evening of the 3rd (AEST) when it will below the horizon, at +68 degree declination.

It will be a sleep sucking faint horizon hugger.
