Totally disagree, Marc; its too built-up along the coast, no chance of escaping light pollution. I've tried most of the back roads from Newcastle to the 'Gong.
Correction. Magnum you could try Stanwell Park, its just south of Royal National Park and far enough from Wollongong to give an interesting night sky, though I wouldn't rate it as good as the upper Blue Mountains. It's a steep 30 minute walk from the station down to where the park is located, do-able. You might have to walk out onto the beach as the area is floodlit, including the park itself.
