View from Adelaide
From my back yard in suburban Adelaide from about 3am to 5am saw a total of 2 sporadics and 2 Leonids.
The first Leonid was pretty spectacular, started low in the East and travelled almost to the zenith.
The second one was amazing. It was so bright I saw the flash on the ground around me, and it travelled well overhead leaving a trail that lasted around 20 seconds.
Packed up at about 5am when scattered cloud got a bit too thick.
Pretty sure light pollution prevented me from seeing all but the brightest, but boy, those two were spectacular.
