Congrats Chris on your new scope acquisition... a whole new world awaits. What you need is covered fairly well below, but you really don't need much. Some sort of chart, be it an atlas or planisphere as suggested below, or even the centre spread of one of the Australian Astronomy mags. As first targets you can't go past Saturn which will be a bright creamy star about 2/3rd of the way from horizon to straight up above your northern horizon around midnight at the moment.

I wish u well

cheers,
