You need to go this week! wait too long and the waxing moon will bleach out the sky too much.
Areas like Bargo should be OK for you - around 30 -40 minutes drive down the freeway. The Sutherland club use and old abandoned airstrip at Bargo.
Better still is west of Mittagong. The further south west you go the better, it is best to view objects when near the meridian and the north/south line at Mittagong points to Katoomba at its northern end and not into the glow of Sydney which is very much to the north east.
I sometimes travel from my home in town at Bowral to a location west of Mittagong - quite dark.
