Galaxies are going to be a bit difficult from where you are. You also need to wait for clearer skies. Sky is always hazy near Melbourne right now.
Probably the easiest galaxy atm is NGC 5128. You should be able to make out the wide dust lane separating the two halves on a clear day. M104 and M83 that Mick already mentioned are worth checking out too. NGC 253 and NGC 55 will make good targets in a few months
You will find lots of bright DSOs along the stretch of sky between the cross and false cross (i.e., eta carinae and friends), and near the galactic centre by the teapot in Sagittarius. Scan the area with binos to spot the brighter nebulae and star clusters.
