Hi Hayley
As a newbie myself, I can recommend that all the above opinions are spot on. Although you've now got a scope, which I'm sure is more than adequate, in the future you'll probably get the apature fever all of us get at one time or another!
Keep a look out for sales - I just picked up an 8inch Black Diamond sky watcher newtonian on sale for 375 which I think was a pretty good deal - the point is keep your eye on the various Australian retailers, they all seem to have a sale on particular items at any given time. I got my scope on sale from Star Optics, and as Dath Wader recommended - get some resources to help out. I believe Bintelshop has a sale on the Astronomy 2010 book at the moment, and get Stellarium!!
