I 2nd getting Stellarium - its free and many of us here use it.
www.stellarium.org
Pop in your coordinates and it will show you whats up there at moment.
Also, M42 in the constellation of Orion, is spectacular, as Brent said.
Buy the latest Australia Sky and Telescope for latest info, and it has a handy middle page with the night sky at the moment.
www.skymaps.com has great chart for the southern night sky too.
Is a huge learning curve that we have all been through, so enjoy!!
