No such thing near St Helens Park - you have to get out from under the light dome of Sydney - and its big.
Take A9 to join the M4 at Penrith and head up the blue mountains, an easy drive for you.
If you want dark skies:
1. Hargraves Lookout at Shipley Plateau, west of Blackheath;
2. Victoria Falls Rd - on the Great Western Highway proceed through Blackheath and keep an eye out for a dirt road signposted Victoria Falls heading north into the National Park. if you reach Mt Victoria you've missed it (i.e. turn around).
About 2km in you will be on a high ridge, about as good as it gets in the mountains. At night you may find you receive a visit from the NPWS ranger just checking on what's going on.
3. Hassans Walls, which means driving into Lithgow then up the road to the ridge.
