If you get out earlier you could also try for the Eskimo Nebula - just a short hop from Saturn at the moment. I thought it would have made the list above, but then I realised the 30 degree criteria on the list, and it must just creep under it from Melbourne.
If you make it out to a dark sky sight and want the veiw to knock your socks off - try the Fornax galaxy cluster (as reported in Nov/Dec Sky&Space). Try to find the field with the most galaxies in. Another galaxy that hasn't been mentioned is NGC5128 - just a short hop from Omega Cent. It has an obscuring dust lane that splits the galaxy light into two halves resulting in a ghostly hamburger appearance.
