Stephen, it looks like it will be in a good high altitude position for most of us in the southern half of Australia from about 3:30 onwards.
I have a clear view of the horizon from the spot I am going to image from so I will start snapping away about 2:30 am.

According to CDC, at my location (I'm on the 37th parallel) the head of Comet Lovejoy rises at 1:45am.
The tail should be obvious well before then.
