Hi Suz,
Halley's Comet is what got me interested as well.
The dark skies at your location are the stuff of dreams for most who live in the city. I wonder if the scope you looked through was the 14" GOTO Dob that belongs Chris? He and his Wife usually make the trip to Mt Coot-tha for the free public viewing nights.
It is a pity that there are no Astronomical Societies near you, maybe you could start one in your local area? You don't have to be an expert, all that is needed is a passion for the hobby.
Society or not, IIS is the place to be for all things to do with astronomy.
Stu.
