Hi Muddy,
The Milky way is the big long band of whitish haze that runs in a line from one horizon to the other. You may be able to identify some of the objects that lay in it:
Southern Cross, Carina, the stinger in Scorpius tail, and most of all 'Sagittarius' which is actually in the line of site towards the centre of our Galaxy (that's why Sagittarius is so bright).
If you are unfortunate to be in a Light Polluted area the Milky way can be very hard to see. Take a trip to a dark place and look up. At this present moment it is running from North-east to South-west going straight thru Zenith.
