I don't know how far Heathcote is from your home but if the seeing is bad at home it is very likely it will be bad within a 100km radius. Timing is usually more critical for "local" good seeing rather than location. I've seen instances of very good seeing followed up by utter garbage seeing but very rarely good seeing in one location and bad seeing in another location within 100km or 200km away.
If you check CFN in the dark sky section the wind vectors predictions are actually very accurate. I haven't imaged in a long while but I've been keeping an eye up and the data displayed in the dark sky section is pretty much on the money. Don't bother with other sources if seeing is important to you as they all use GFS.
