Glenn, I don't think many here would recomend such a scope, most will recommend a dobsonian mounted reflector - much easier to push around for first timers - the quality of the mirror & accessories is usually good - you might look at a 6" or 8" Dob (not too many 6" around, but if you are keen you could place a wanted Ad for either in the classifieds here.)
You could visit one of the Bris retailers to see a couple of scopes in action, if you go to the links section on this site there is a list of retailers - sirius optics is one in QLD.
Secondhand I think is a good way to go - there are a few SE qld'ers here - you can always get them to show you how it all works when you pick it up, as well as saving a few bucks
