meteor showers in southern skies this week

An interesting message was posted to an Australian science list I'm on. I've put it behind the cut below. It tells about some meteor showers visible in pre-dawn skies this week. It should be fairly spectacular. The last time this happened I set up a folding bed outside with a doona over me and lay and watched the fireworks for a few hours. Try to be somewhere away from clouds.

It will peak on the 5th of May (patchworkkid's birthday).
