Binocular Challenge

The last few clear nights I have been trying to find NGC 253 the Sculptor Galaxy. I read in the latest Australian sky and telescopes that it is visible through binoculars so I grab my 10 x 50 but no matter what I try i can't see/find it (even looking through my 10" Goto dob. ) So can anyone else find it using there binoculars keeping in mind that I do live in suburban melb.
I can see the orion nebular and M7,M6 and Omega centauri (NGC 139) Jewel box cluster (NGC 4755) using binoculars.
please let me know if you found it.....
Thanks peter
