The Orion Neb (M42 to be correct) is easy to find and will look great in the 25mm. The only thing is that it is low at the moment so not the best fo viewing. And as you live in Melb light pollution makes it a bit harder. Try for it as soon as it gets dark. Locate the 3 stars of Orions belt, they should form a nearly vertical line. To the left of them you should make out a line of faint fuzy stars which is the sword. M42 is in there. Once you have found it you can get it easily.
