(meteorobs) Leonids in Australia



I have a lady friend who is taking a tour to Australia in November on
dates that span the Leonid meteor shower.  I pointed this out to her and
she now wants to know when this will occur in Australia.  I look up the
date and time in my Royal Observer's Handbook of Canada and it says the
second maximum is November 18, 18h UT.  That must be the Australian one.
Now I would have no problem with this if Sydney were not on the other
side of the International Date Line, and that is one line that has
always confused me  8-).  Further it is about 10 hours ahead of
Greenwich and I'm used to being behind Greenwich.  I am assuming that
she will be in the vicinity of Sydney.  Could any of you Australians
help me?   Thanks in advanced!

    My apologies to Lew if this is off topic.          Robert G.
