It's about 30km from Coonabarabran and Siding Spring is on the hills above...although there is no public access near the telescopes at night.
Away from the highway, the region is pretty sparsely populated though.

We think also going to the Blue Mountains, stay there and drive on to Coona and stay there, but we have yet to make an itinerary.
Maybe going to the Red Center, but too far for driving from Sydney, so then a Greyhound can be an option and rent a car in Alice as we did in 2000.
