After observing the 1999 Leonid outburst on Tenerife, Canary Islands, I had the opportunity to witness the 2001 storm from Central Australia, about 50 kilometers east of Alice Springs, where atmospheric conditions were superb and skies absolutely dark. During 3.12 hours of effective observing time I was able to record 1372 Leonids, of which 51 were brighter than magnitude 0. Spectacular earth-grazers added to the scene, together with the Southern Skies as a setting.
