Hope you enjoy your choice of scope Solanum, at least with a Dob your effective viewing time outside is maximised as there is almost no setup time, and finding objects yourself is very rewarding, with a goto scope it can become boring....

Oh and with the money you save it might be worthwhile to consider some more capable eyepieces than the super plossls and reverse kellners etc that usually come with these scopes, EP's with a wider field of view seeming you have to track objects by push/pull.

As you have probably seen there are articles on this website that detail how to cheaply and conveniently transport these types of scopes in and out of the house without back strain, and how to maintain and care for them.
The search function on the toolbar above is an excellent tool for answering questions too.
The Mildura area would be excellent for deep sky viewing!
have fun.
