I agree with Barry's suggestion to contact the ASNSW. I am confident the club committee would support a properly organised visit to Wiruna which is about 3 hours drive west of Sydney. I for one would be prepared to help out on such a visit. There are quite a few club scopes you could use and I would be happy to make my scopes available to you. From Wiruna you could visit the AAO at Siding Spring and Parkes radio telescope as a day trip.
Winter is great time for astronomy in Australia you get a full 12 hours of darkness each night and the Milky Way overhead!
