I haven't been out to dark skies much, but when I do go, I like to go about 20-25 minutes drive up to Mangrove Mountain.. it's far enough out of town to have lovely dark skies, and the soccer oval I observe from has some good views of all the horizons.
If I want to go a little further, I go to Koolang Observatory, which is another 30 minutes drive further up that road. I sometimes go for their Friday or Saturday open night where they get out some 10" dobs and depending on whose giving the show, sometimes the 20" dob makes an appearance too.
Seeing the tarantula nebula and jupiter through the 20" was spectacular.
