Hi Sarah,
astro-photography through a telescope can be very challenging but you can start off simply. With your scope, you can probably get an adaptor that will allow you to attach a DSLR to the focuser and that will help. First target should be the moon because its very bright. Its best to take images of the moon when its not full because the shadows cast across craters bring out lots of detail. Here is a moon atlas:

To photograph most other objects, you'll need to master your mount and that will take some learning. You need to line it up on the south pole in the sky so that you can track objects over time. There are lots of guides online to show you how to do this.
You may need some upgrades in the future so that you can track objects for longer periods. However, a good starting place is to mount your camera on the scope in what we call "piggyback" mode. The camera is then guided by using the slow motion controls to keep a bright start centred in the view. Its rudimentary but, because the magnification is low, you can get beautiful wide field views of the night sky showing detail in the milky way and out closest galaxy neighbours, the LMC and SMC.
You can even use your camera on a tripod by itself and there are lots of targets you can pick up well this way. My first shots were done this way and I even took photos of the moon by holding a camera near the eyepiece! You can even try this using a mobile phone camera.
It takes time to get good at using telescopes and I STRONGLY advise you to join a local group. Hobart has an astro club and they meet regularly at Cambridge for public observing nights. I'd get a good star atlas as well. (here is one:

Bagdad is pretty dark so you are already well ahead of many people who have to observe through city light pollution. If you are patient, this can be an incredibly rewarding hobby, and lots of fun. Dont expect miracles straight away; the journey is the best part of the hobby.
Hope this helps a bit, keep asking questions, there are a lot patient people on this site who can help you learn.
