Suggest you grab a 1.25" Moon Filter (aka "neutral density" filter) for checking out the Moon and bright planets. Will cost you $19 from Bintel in Camberwell, or $12 plus postage from Andrews Comms.
Maybe grab a LED torch (red & white LEDs) also. Good for fumbling with gadgets (eyepieces, filters, notes, etc) without wrecking your night vision. $32 from Bintel. Not sure if Andrews still carry these.
Hope this helps.
