It looks like you are close to Geelong. The Transit of Venus will start approx EST 8:16am and end approx 2:45pm, Wednesday 6th June 2012. We don't do day light saving in Qld because our curtains will fade, so take DLS into account if it is in play. If you don't already have some, maybe buy a sheet of Baader Solar Film (Visual 5.0), make a solar cell and you can watch this through your scope in safety.

For a moment there, when you said 'IIS', I read it as ISS and I marvelled at the fact you guys are in direct contact with the International Space Station. Don't mind me. I'm having a dumb day....
