You can see it but it's really low in the sky. This time of the year your best chance is just before midnight. Look south, the bottom of the southern cross (Acrux) is only about 8 degrees above the horizon, so it's tough. I've seen it from the mountain which is possibly the easiest place to see it here, otherwise you will certainly need an unobstructed view to the southern horizon.
