The annual event, which can be seen in the early hours of the morning from anywhere in Australia this week, is predicted to be the best we've seen for a very long time.
For a start, unlike previous years, there is no moon in the sky to hamper your view, amateur astronomer Ian Musgrave says.
The meteor shower will start to ramp up an hour or so before these times, so the idea is to head out earlier and watch the whole show unfold.
But this year, it peaks when it is early morning in Australia, explains Jonti Horner, an astronomer at the University of Southern Queensland.
"We get good rates even if the precise peak time isn't in our morning hours, but when it lines up like this, it is even better," Professor Horner says.
And over the past few decades, the meteor rates have been ramping up as we pass deeper into the dust cloud.
