Hey Corkie,
Saturn should be pretty easy to find for you ... if you haven't already found it (due north in Adelaide at about 7:15pm, about 40 degress above the horizon).
You should be able to discern the rings, a hint of yellow, and maybe some of its moons with your 25mm eyepiece. Ideally you'll want 150x to 200x magnification to enjoy the planets once located in the scope .... (somewhere between 12mm and 7mm for your scope). Maybe there was a 10mm that came with your scope?
Cheers.
