There's some forum members around your area, beren (stuart) is in perth area and he's into astrophotography. Send him a PM and see if he's able to show you his stuff.

Astrophotography can be expensive, the minimum you'd want is probably an ED80 ($600) on an EQ6 mount ($1500), and then a camera. For the camera, you could get a DSI/DSI Pro ($400-$800), but you might be better off with a DSLR (if you have one), or if you need to buy one, you're starting from $1000 and go upwards from there.

I'd look at $3k as a minimum and $5k is more realistic.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay here. How did you hear about us?
