Hi Zahid
Sounds like you're going to have a great time. You'll definitely need to rent a car. You won't be able to get around easily on public transport, especially at nights and the places you'll want to go where they are away from main populated areas.
And blue mountains to Coona is like 4-6 hours, and you won't find public transport to easily take you there.
I'm planning a trip to Coona myself around 13th September so I'll be hoping to get to the observatories too. I'm not sure how open they are after the fires. Might be best to try and give them a call.
Weather might be tricky. Out west where you may be is usually ok, but if you go to the Coast it could be good or bad and best planned when you're here I would guess.
Get a Telstra SIM in Australia and you'll have the best chance of getting coverage in remote areas. It won't be perfect in all areas but around most populated spots at blue mountains, Parkes and Coona you won't have trouble.
Good luck!
