Hi Soldant,
Since you have a 10x50 binoculars, you are ready for star hopping. The easiest hops now are around the southern cross (Crux), Centaurus, Carina, Scorpius and Sagittarius. If you are familliar with the constellations, Crux will yield the Jewel Box open cluster, Centaurus Omega Centauri globular cluster (resolvable to the core with a 6"), Scorpius M6 and M7 open clusters at the stingers of the scorpion and globular M22 (also resolvable to the core) at the head of the teapot in Sagittarius as well as some nebula's M8 (Lagoon nebula) and M17 (swan nebula). For planetaries if you stay up late enough there are M57 the Ring Nebula in Lyra that is easy to find as is M27 the dumbbell nebula in Vulpecula. Galaxies are a little harder if you are observing from the burbs. But with practise, you should be able to hunt down mag 10 galaxies from mag 5.4-5.6 skies like me. Current "easy" (taken with a pinch of salt) galaxies are M83 in Hydra (use very low powers...best views for me are at approx. 46x with the 32mm Plossl). Do you have star maps to guide you? If not I can recommend Phil Harrington's Skywatch (should be available in your local Dymocks, QBD or Angus and Robertson Bookworld). Very good book for beginning starhoppers. Alternatively if you can get your hands on Turn Left at Orion, that is another good one.
Hope that helps.

p/s: you can check out how some of these DSO's look at my web site. I have sketched close to 300 objects to date!
