The Sky and Telescope charts are plotted for 35 deg South so are perfect for where you are. They still work fine for me down in Vic, a few degrees won't make much difference. They also have a guide telling you when the sky will match the chart. For example I have the May/June 2014 edition sitting on my desk and it tells me the chart is accurate for 11pm in late April, 10pm in Early May, 9pm in late May etc. It also has instructions on how to orient it.
They plot minimal deeps space objects (mainly Messiers and things like Eta Carina, 47Tuc, Omega Cent etc, but are very good for picking your way around the constellations and learning the bright stars.
