The Orion nebula M42 is an easy one to start with. Look for 4 stars in the middle called the Trapezium.
Low in the SE will be the Southern Cross and near the lower one of the side stars is the jewel box cluster. If you move the scope straight up 2 or 3 widths of the southern cross you'll run into the wishing well cluster and the bright Carina nebula - have a general look around that area of the milky way and see what you run into.
Note the brighter orange star in the middle of the carina nebula - see if you can see any detail around it with the 15mm or 9mm eyepiece - needs steady skies.
Then there's the objects near the SMC and LMC mentioned above.
Try your 30mm eyepiece first then see how the objects look with the 15mm.
