Chances are you have less light pollution there than we do here in
London, I wish I had the views of Mars you appear to have there,

at 18:00 in the evening from your location its at 125 degrees SE and
28 Degrees Alt.
at 22:00 195 Degrees South 48 Degrees altitude
And it falls below the horizon at around 02:45 245 Degrees South.

There isn't even the Moon to spoil the view, basically look up, it
really is the biggest brightest thing in the sky you can see

The times above are more or less the same for the rest of the week
for you

Why would light pollution - or the Moon - be a problem when observing
Mars? The full Moon in September will add to the show, IMO. The only
obstacles are objects on the horizon, including haze.
