It was so dark I could not tell what street I was on. I could not see the street signs. I waited for a car to illuminate the sign. It took about 4 hrs to walk home. 
From West Beach to West Hindmarsh (Adelaide) 
That was Christmas time. No lights any where. No street lights or christmas lights. The sky was a mass of white. I have not seen the sky like that since except in dark country areas.

I remember a couple of years ago when I was doing one of my Melbourne-Canberra-Melbourne trips in a day. Heading back after dropping my NJP mount to a friend to use for a few weeks I stopped at a rest stop a couple hours out of Melbourne, turned all lights off and let my eyesight adjust. My god the sky just filled with stars to the point you would loose sight of the easily recognised constellations. Truly how many city dwellers have seen such a sight....very few I would guess.
