Hi Theo,
I bet you can't wait to take possession of your new scope.
My first bit of advice is to go to the newsagents tomorrow and buy a copy of Australian Sky and Telescope. It has a beaut all sky map that is easy to use, just hold it over your head and match up the constellations. It has quite a few objects on it for you to search for.
If you can get to a book store, you absolutely need to buy a copy of "Astronomy 2009". It has a series of good starter star charts and a month by month ephemeris to keep you up to date with what is happening "up there".
Have fun!
