This has been dea;t with quite recently, but again, probably the biggest and easiest to find, and amazing nebulae at the moment is Eta Carinae, close to the Southern Cross.
Another favourite is the Jewel Box, again close to the Southern Cross.
While in the area Omega Cluster in Centaurus.
Others will add more I am sure.
Best you can do is to come up to Mangrove Mountain Pony Club tonight.
Its close. Its free. And you will see and learn heaps.
the directions are in a sticky at the top of the Star Parties thread.
Hope to see you there
