Emma congratulations and
to IIS , you will get years out of what a 6 inch scope will show , great size , like goldylocks , 'not to big and not to small ' , all Messier objects ( that are visible from your location) 1000's of our southern deep sky objects , awesome luna and planetary views , no it is a great starter scope .
Just take your time and learn , there is no rush as they aint going anywhere in a hurry , grab a good star atlas/planetarium and enjoy .
But the best advice I can give is this , 'Join a club' you will get all the help you need from like minded amertures like your self and have a ball learning .
.
Brian.
