Yes, it's problematic finding a site.
I observed over 2000 galaxies from my mother's cousin's place on Pakenham Rd, just a bit out from Pakenham. And hundreds of DSOs in the Magellanic Clouds. Unfortunately he's sold it now. You might have to drive down Maryknoll way, and find a deserted lane or oval which is light free (and hopefully, lover's lane-free).
