Hi Mel,
I'm in SE suburbs and I recently found a little spot called Jindivick, which is around 10 mins north of Drouin. It's very quiet and quite dark (although not ideal for astrophotography because of the slight light pollution from Warragul to the south east and Drouin to the south is a bit imposing) but it would be perfect for casual observing through a scope. I set my camera up on the edge of the local cricket/footy field. Admittedly it was a Wednesday night, but I was there for about 90 mins and in that whole time only one car went past so it's very quiet.
To get there, you just head down the Princes Hwy for 45 mins or so and turn left at Longwarry.
I've attached a pic from the night I was there - the light pollution is from Warragul (centre) and Droun (right).
