Hello and Welcome Stephen,
You should get decent views in Jimboomba (my brother lives on Edelsten Road). Try to avoid looking back toward BrisVegas and you will be fine.
It is easy to spend money on the hobby, my advice would be to use 3 cheaper eyepieces until you know what it is you want to 'focus' on.
Stellarium is a free program worth its weight in gold dust. If you spend one hour studying Stellarium for every hour you spend on the forum you will learn the sky very quickly.
Don't be shy to ask questions either.....
Cheers,
