Binocular highlights from Tasmania next few weeks? My friends are visiting southern Australia and Tasmania for the next few weeks.

I am lobbying them to bring my Nikon 8x42 binoculars so they can appreciate the Milky Way and possibly see a few other things.

What I need is:


What parts of the Milky way will be most spectacular in binoculars at night at about 40° South latitude around this time of year?
Anything else? I've never stargazed in the Southern hemisphere so I have no idea what to point them towards.


I can use online star maps (e.g. in-the-sky.org) so I can give them directions how to find things if it's not hard, but I don't have any idea what "things" there are.
My favorite resource for this sort of thing is the Skymaps.com evening sky map.
The southern hemisphere edition is drawn for 35&deg;S latitude.
The November issue doesn't show the Milky Way, which hugs the horizon at that time.
However, both the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are well placed in the evening, and the back page lists several other objects "easily seen with binoculars."
For example:


47 Tucanae, a globular cluster visually near the SMC
NGC 2516, an open cluster in Carina
M42, the famous nebula in Orion
