Hi ozzimadman,
Welcome to IIS!
Since you are new to astronomy and looking for your first scope, I really, really, really suggest that you first go to a local star party. I realise that Bunbury is not a stone's throw from Perth, but the trip up to hook up with a local jaunt will prove invaluble. This way you will get to see what the scopes look like, how big they are, how they assemble and the ease of assembly, and all the bells and whistles that are available.
The first star party WILL leave you starry eyed ( no pun intended ), so a second will ground you some more and leave you a little wiser on how to best spend your money.
Mental.
