Hi Charla,
grab a copy of 'Sky & Space' magazine from the newsagent. It has a great stargazing section that focuses on various objects in the sky. If you read about something that interests you, then you can look at the whole sky chart in the magazine to find where the object is in the sky. 'Australian Sky & Telescope' magazine is also good, but I particularly like the stargazing section in Sky & Space.
With a low power eyepiece (say 30mm) you can simply scan along the areas of the sky that have the most stars, the milky way, and you'll run into a few nebulae and interesting groups of stars.
The easiest way of all would be to catch up with another observer in the area and they could put a few objects in the eyepiece for you.
