Like i said jmb in another post, this telescope will be virtually useless from brisbane your downgrading by a mighty lot aka nearly 50% in mirror size.
my 114mm newt i use for a guide scope it only just pulls up M42.

Go for a Refractor of 80mm or better but then again you will run into the same problem as you will need a tripod.

the only other option you might be able to get away with is Binoculars but you already have a decent set.

good luck
