According to Meteors Online; This represents the view from mid-southern latitudes at about 4:00 a.m. local time around May 6. The graphic does not represent the view at the time of maximum, but is simply meant to help prospective observers to find the radiant location.
Eta Aquarids are fast and often trace yellow-coloured long paths across the sky. However, if the skies are clear early on Monday you will not need binoculars or a telescope to see larger objects in this meteor shower created by the tail of Halley's Comet.
So look north-east around 4am and with luck you will enjoy one of life's many wonders.
