HI Julien and welcome to Ice in Space. A 12" scope and dark skies are a great way to do some observing. I haven't been to the top of Mt Macedon, so I don't really know. I wonder if another thought might be to put it between yourself and Melbourne rather than be on top of it. Top of a hill is good for seeing, but a big hill like that is a good light pollution filter.

Anyway, it sounds like you're off to a great start - Tarantula and 47 Tuc with a big scope- Mmmmm. Leave M42 for dead I reckon.
