The best advice I can give is to use your scope with the supplied eyepieces for a while until you get some viewing experience under your belt.
There are a wide range of choice at a wide range of prices...It is very easy for first time buyers/viewers to feel pressure to jump into the expensive end of the hobby. Resist the urge and use what you have for a while.
If you have not done so, join a local astro club/society and get out to some viewing nights (or try and hook up with other people from this forum...it is a pretty friendly and helpful bunch here).
No doubt you will have many questions and be a bit unsure about what you are seeing and what you are supposed to see...until you get some eyepiece time I would discourage you from adding to you eyepiece collection...there will be plenty of time for that later.
The eyepieces that came with your scope are no doubt not "the best money can buy", but as a newbie to the hobby there is no need for you to have the best just yet (and depending on how active you become you might not ever need the best...which is a relative term anyway). I'm sure that they are pretty usuable and compared to what was available to the masses 25 years ago most likely are pretty good.
This hobby is supposed to be fun and enjoyable...while tempting for many of us, it is not a race to see who can spend the most money and get the most gear.
Once we get rid of these Sydney clouds get your scope out and start looking up...there are many wonders available to see with the stuff you already have.
Good Luck and Clear Skies (soon I hope)...Oh and Welcome to IIS!
