Yes good luck if you capture any faint ones this year. Moon is in a really bad spot and will be a pain, but like anything, give it a go, you might see a bolide or two. You can sometimes view earth grazers before the radiant rises also
unfortunately the moon will be up for that too
I am planning on viewing either side of the predicted peak, east of Adelaide (just on the other side of the Adelaide Hills), usually (in my experiences) get better numbers then. Haven't seen a perfect prediction of the leonids yet, so always good to look before, during and after the predicted times...
