hi mike,
how about picking up a cheap 8" dob while over here and selling it after you're done?
A couple of places maybe worth visiting, Parkes (radio telescope) in NSW and the Siding Spring observatory. In fact staying near Coonabarabran NSW (Warrumbungle National Park ) would be an ideal spot for observing. Otherwise if you're doing a road trip inter-metro you're not going to have to go too far to avoid the light pollution.
all the best
Rusty
