Planetary imaging from Sydney is definitely tougher than inland seeing-wise, looking at the results of other observers west of the Blue Mountains or in western NSW. It's also clear that further north is also generally better, such as with Anthony Wesley and Phil Miles in central QLD. But I'm better off in Sydney than imagers in Melbourne I think! Not so sure about Adelaide and Perth?
The best seeing of all ought to be up in the tropics away from the jetstream, where outside the monsoons, skies should be good. (Best planet images worldwide come from equatorial regions)
Winters in Sydney tend to be poorer seeing because of the jetstream, but we're (usually) lucky to have more clear skies for the dark nights!
