Crash,
If you can make the Brisbane Planetarium night, then do so. It's always a great experience to observe in the company of others. The people there will point you (literally) in the right direction.
Definitely worth getting a planisphere.
Quasar Publishing's "Astronomy 2005" yearbook is also a worthwhile companion. Your local telescope shops may still have it in stock.
Starting off with binoculars (and of course the unaided eye) is a great way to go.
