Geminid Meteor Shower- December13-15th 2012/ 40th Anniversary of Apollo 17, Dec.14.

Interesting that some locations saw a lot and some saw very few. I am in Mackay. On Thursday night 12 midnight till 1 am I saw only 1 (clouds came over after that), Friday 10 till 11 pm saw only 1 again. Saturday had another look 11.30 till 12.30 saw only 1 again. I hope I have not been spoiled by the leoinds shower of 2002 (lost count on that one one every second at times and hundreds per hour)

What colour, speed, tail length, radiant position did these have? Just to confirm my own sighting...
