Darwin sits in -12, and on the net milky way is directly over your head if you are in -30.
Any advice?

Darwin is a city with some light pollution. Go South of Darwin out of the city. Yes Milky Way galactic centre is about 70-80 degrees altitude. Still a fantastic view not on the horizon.
But if you want it right overhead go further south. Just remember that winter weather is more cloudy in July down south around - 30 latitude only <50% clear depending where.
If you want to go further south, best is probably Uluru. Airfares to Darwin from east coast are more expensive than to Uluru.
