Hello Jazza 11.
To locate some galaxies, you will need some sky maps! There are some nice bright galaxies to be seen in the early to mid evening at the moment in the constellations of Grus, Sculptor and Fornax.
As Astro_nutt has averted to, the size of your scope will dictate how many galaxies you can see, and the extent to which you will be able to perceive any detail. The best thing you can do to improve your chances of seeing some detail in a galaxy is to go away from the city lights to a dark country location. I am sure some of your Queensland compatriat IceInSpacers can give you some suggestions about where good dark skies are.
Good luck with the hunt! It is worth the effort.
