The last two nights had pretty decent seeing in Western Sydney, which is about all that matters for viewing planets. Jupiter is slipping away fast now, but with a quick-setup rig like a Dob you should still be able to get some nice views.

Did you try Sunday and Monday night from Bonnyrigg? Saturn was awesome from Toongabbie (more so Sunday night).

I often find that the seeing down here in the suburban muck is better than up in the mountains, even though transparency is poor and there is lots of light pollution. With planets, that's not an issue, though.
