Where along the Milky Way is galactic central point?

I'm asking because I'm currently in very rural New Zealand. I'm English so I'm not used to seeing the stars in the southern part of the sky. 

When I look at the Southern Cross it seems to me that the Milky Way looks brighter around it than along the rest of it. So I thought maybe that's the direction of the galactic central point.

As others have said, look in Sagittarius, which looks like a teapot.  Once you've identified the "teapot" the center of the galaxy is actually just where the tea would pour out of the pot, more or less.

It's just not very bright in that direction to your naked eye because of the giant dust clouds that obscure our line of sight towards the galactic center.  Most of the observations of the black hole in the center and all that are done in other wavelengths like radio.
