Congratulations on the scope and well done introducing your kids to the night sky. Dark skies are hard to find in Melbourne, if you don't mind a bit of a drive, we have an Astro Camp in Novembers at Snake Valley a bit past Ballarat. A thread about it is here

We are a fairly casual group and welcome new astronomers. A 10" dob will show a lot of stuff under the skies we get there.
Let me know if you are interested.
