Hi Will, and welcome.
If there is an astronomy club somewhere in Port Macquarie, then maybe you should mosey along to that and see what gear others have. Failing that, perhaps an IIS member near you might have a scope you can test drive.
As for my vote, like always, I'd go for the dob option. (Mirrors have no chromatic aberration, so from that point of view as good as an apo.) Aperture rules, it's true. But consider the size carefully, especially if you are moving it around, because they get real heavy real quick once you get over 8-10 inches.
Cheers,
Brian.

PS Have you got some half decent binoculars?
