I have seen M31, easily, with 7x50 binos from my apartment in Fitzroy, Melbourne, just north of the city centre. I do remember seeing it on the Sunshine Coast and on the same day vainly trying to find the Double Cluster in Perseus.
I live in Hobart now and have yet to attempt it. Just got myself new 8x44 Minox HD and 10x42L Canon IS binos - should try soon!
