Thanks for your comments Ric and Brent. You fellas are fortunate. Once about 15 years ago my wife and I rented a cottage in country Victoria for a weekend. Didn't take my scope, but the sky there was so clear with no moon I spent over an hour just eyeballing things. Even my wife (a non-astronomer) was impressed. She'd never seen the Milky Way before and that night it was spectacular. Having observed in the northern hemisphere most of my life, I occasionally miss my old favourites, Ursa Major, Draco, etc. but must admit the southern hemisphere is something else. Overwhelming.
