I was wondering if it will be better if i just watch it from my house balcony? i stay in the heart of Melbourne City on the 35th floor and i can pretty much see everything (unobstructed views of the skies). Balcony faces east. If not, can any melburnians recommend me a place to watch?
Can someone help? this is my first time. Thank you so much.

NSFX ... Not sure what part of Melbourne you are in, but maybe too light??
Perhaps tonight just relax on your balcony and check out the East for a couple of hours and see what you see??
If you are keen, go to a darker site tomorrow night. Its still not 100 % that you will see heaps wherever you are, but give it a try.
Good luck!!
I try and watch meteror showers regularly, and sometimes I barely see the basic 10 per hr, but they are all beautiful.
... have just had a peek outside for 20 minutes and didnt see any!!! Might try later, or leave it for tomorrow night when should be better ... hoping.
