Tim,
Friday and Saturday nights, a group of us hang out in Mt Gravatt. There are usually at least 3 of us there with 10" dobs showing the public. At the moment, we can pull a few things out in the city (Carina before it sets, Blue Planetary, maybe Lagoon and Trifid Nebulas), but the others are more "dark sky" objects to see without filters.
If you are free, PM me and I can give you some details if you want to come along and get some advice and time on a scope to get a feel for it.
Joel
