I've seen it in my 6X30 finder from my home in Sydney a few years back. Today, I need 8X50 finder to see it from home. But that's a finder which has fewer elements to kill light transmission.
Be patient with it, and you need to use averted vision as it is not the brightest thing, despite its size. You will see it as a little faint streak. I don't know if you've tried other galaxies too with your binos. M31 is worth a shot, even from Victoria even though M31 grazes the horizon. Forget M33 - just too low in surface brightness for urban skies. While not the best time of year, there is also M83, Centaurus A & M104, all of which I have pinned with 10X50 binos from home.
Good luck with it.
Mental.
