I should make a mention of the NSAS (Northern Sydney Astro Society ) and myself. I am not a member, and I have no affiliation with them. I suggested this site as it can be accessed with the gates closed if you are happy to hike a few metres from the car park to the observing field. The obs field is locked if there are no activities happening from the various special interest groups that use the park facilities.
Please keep in mind that unless it is an NSAS endorsed session, any astro use of this field is an entirely private individual situation.
Like Wavy said, for being an inner metropolitan location, the sky here really is pretty good. This particular night even with the Moon close to Saturn, I could make out some extension to the Milky Way either side of the Cloud of Sagittarius. On my first visit there a few months ago, I also managed to see the Coal Sack. For an urban sky location, it is pretty good, but nothing beats a dark sky site.
