Given that you're in Wagga and you'll have access to much darker skies than those stuck in the city, I'd really recommend investing in a Digital Setting Circle (DSC). This will make finding DSOs, comets, etc etc much easier.
I've got a Nexus DSC from a company called Astro Devices (

It was fairly straight forward to install their Sky-Watcher encoder kit on my 10" dobsonian.
From there, it takes a few minutes to do a two star alignment and you have access to hundreds of thousands of objects in the sky!
