Visiting Australia and NZ from the UK

Hello,

I was looking for some advice on how to get the most out of my trip from an amateur astronomer's angle. Whilst my trip is not primarily for astronomy I feel it would be a shame to leave my cloudy northern shores to beautiful Australia and New Zealand without capitalising on the southern objects and amazing skies.

I've looked into astronomy tours but have yet to find anything appealing and I was hoping I could get some advice or recommendations on tours, scope hire or even clubs I could join. Whilst I cannot bring my own scope I can bring a nice collection of Televue eye pieces.

We will be in the following places:

Sydney - 24-25th Nov, 30th-1st
Uluru - 26th-30th
Auckland NZ - 13th-16th

Any advice would be appreciated, i'm honestly looking into what it would cost to bring my scope but it would not be fun to drag that around
