Re that list - scratch Coonabarabran because you can't camp or observe from siding spring mountain at night. Replace with Mt Kaputar, which has a campground (with cabins that must be booked) on the peak and an excellent observing site at 1500m altitude. In July it can snow there, but if it's clear it's awesome.
In the AAO site selection survey it was #2 only because siding spring has a higher likelihood of cloudless nights - the main cause of cloud being coastal cyclones - which don't occur in winter anyway.
