Astronomy in Darwin?

I may be going to Darwin for work for six weeks next winter and I was wondering whether anyone here has attempted to stargaze from northern Australia (NT, Broome or Queensland) during the dry season. There is little rain and most days are clear but what about the nights? Also, I know it's theoretically possible to see most of the northern sky from there has anyone attempted to see objects in Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Cygnus etc. from up there?

Would likely take a small refractor there with me.
