Christmas Creek QLD scan you see Milky Way?

Hey all,

Since I learnt you can see bits of the milky way in the sky about 2 hours from city lights I have been obsessed with doing it (I thought you had to go the outback far far away to see it)

So I am based in Brisbane and looking to go camping when its going to be a new moon so more chance of seeing it.. Looking at areas like Christmas Creek

Can anyone who has been there say if you can see the milky way in the sky from here? It seems to be far enough away from major lights etc..

I have never photographed astronomy before but I will take a crack at it with my DLSR etc but I am more interested in being able to see something with the naked eyes as well as being able to see a lot more stars than usual

If not any more recommendations around the general area 2-3 hours from Brissie?
