I really really am tired of all these clear sky posts. Harumpf! (just like all the whingers who whinge when we whinge about the fragging cloud
)
I stood to have a leak on the highway coming back from Monkey Mia at around 8pm when we lived in Perth. I could not see my hand in front of my face, but I sure could see a hang of a lot of stars, neb, and galactic lane!
This area was just before going back up the escarpment north of Pearce.
The other area that blew my mind was when we drove in to WA, and stopped the night at Salmon Gums. Not only FREEZING cold (mid summer!!!), but dark as coal.
I have found one EXCEPTIONALLY dark spot here in QLD, but it's 3.5 hrs drive from me.
