You don't say how high you are up the escarpment but just the altitude factor can help a bit for sure.

Unfortunately it doesn't fix clouds ...
We can line of sight see the local trig @ 129m above sea level. It's not that high, but we are on the upward slope heading South as you leave the Sydney basin.
We are also relatively well sheltered from street lights, though in the distant there is a very annoying line of street lights.
