Fantastic report and great to see a northerner's perspective on the southerns skies.
From a dark sky site, the Magellanic Clouds are incredible. From a site near Renmark where I was in January the LMC literally has a 3-dimensional layered appearance and the Tarantula is an easy naked eye object. Though a widefield small telescope...WOW little knots, fuzzies and clusters everywhere!!! Had a few European visitors with us, they were gobsmacked that a different galaxy to ours could be seen so large and bright with its brightest contents visible to the NAKED EYE!
Oh what I'd give to see the Sagittarius region directly overhead from the same location...
