I have to agree Swan Hill in winter sound good.
For using skymaps, if you have trouble, say figuring what to see to the south, hold the map with south closest to you and then turn to the south, what you see in the sky is then printed right in front of you, if you go past the small cross in the centre of the map, your not facing south, your facing north so turn the map around.
I know it sounds basic, but it had me scratching my head for a while.
