Hey BowzerS14, I live south eastern sub in melb as well. what suburb are you in? Since you also have a 8" scope, you will not see anything pass mag 8. Note the only visible DSO which you can see kinda clearly is the M42. Forget about galaxies it will be just a haze on a dark night. Other nebula's are just grey blurry clouds.
A good star chart i recommend is Stallarium. It's free and i personally find it very easy to use. 3D and you can actually zoom right in.
