Phil, it wasn't bad. It's a very tight, windy road to get up there, about a 20 minute drive from Healesville.
I observed from the B&B we stayed at, which was on a very steep slope. Altimeter said 590m. It looked to the south east, meaning you could see the lights of Melbourne, but they were a long way away.
Dobbies wouldn't have anywhere flat to set up at the B&B. However, there was an open field on the crest of the mountain at a co-op community centre, at 650m. Great view of the horizon, and hidden from the Melbourne lights. I'm not sure if you could observe in the field there, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
The other thing was the wildlife - lyrebirds and wombats everywhere.
