Hi there Eeda, I'll give you a non flippant response
From Perth, if you drive out of town for an hour or so, you should be able to get a good view of the Milky Way in the early hours of the morning at this time of year.
Earlier in the night, you'll see part of it, and under a dark sky will still be awesome, but 3 or 4 in the morning will be where the core of the Milky Way will be visible.
If you don't fancy the early morning rise, wait a few months and it will come to you at like 7pm!!
Download stellarium or other program to see where it'll be be at any time.
Hope this helps
Bob
