Orionids - best viewing?

The Orionids are coming.

I don't imagine the time zone matters but I'm reading different reports on the best time to view them. Seems Saturday/Sunday is best, but those reports were for US - so Friday/Saturday nights here then?

Does anyone know when would be the best time to see them (in Perth in case that matters).

I've read 2 suggestions, midnight when the earth is heading into the meteors, or just before dawn for darkest skies.

What do you recommend? Will it make much of a difference?
