Always appreciate your posts Joe, I enjoy observing double / multiple stars also. Usually with 127 or 150mm refractors and orthos' and often will target a constellation for the session and refer to my many observing lists for suitable targets within.
Gamma Volantis is great double , as you have noted. Brightness , colour and separation make it a standout for southern observers. Kappa is a wide triplet suitable to smaller apertures and Epsilon at 4.4 / 7.3 m and 6.0 * sep. is another nice target. Many more , of course to whet the appetite.

Cheers
