What Deep Sky Objects can I hope to see

Hi all,
I enjoy reading through this forum often and thought it is about time to start asking questions.
I have now, for a year a NexStar 6 SE... I am really happy with the telescope and have seen some wonderful things in my journey in learning how to use it.
I was wondering what possibilities I have for seeing some deep sky object, like galaxies here in the southern skies. I live out in Samford just outside of Brisbane. I am shielded a little from the Brisbane lights by some mountains, but that means I have a very narrow view angle directly above me.
What should I be hoping for with the 6SE? I have just bought a 2 x barlow and have a reasonable collection of lens. They only success I have had to date is the Orion Nebula. I am not disappointed, I love looking for it whenever I can, but maybe I should start searching for other things...
thanks for any information,
Wayne
