Hi Kane,
Welcome to IIS.
The very best way to start off is with a pair of 10x50 binoculars and a star chart. Australian Sky and Telescope magazine has a good basic all sky chart that has marked on it, enough DSO's (deep sky objects) to search for to keep you busy for a while.
Then, if you are still interested, it might be time to start thinking about upgrading to a telescope.
