Nearest oval, unless you're prepared to drive for an hour or so to reach the NSAS site at Terrey Hills (see the NSAS website) or Sutherland AS (Oyster Bay, Como).
Also a dark oval (safe and unlit at night) in Killara in Koola Ave, parking on Rosebery Rd; you can try that, I've used it many times midweek. There is a low fence and gate around it so you cannot drive onto it, so be prepared to carry stuff out to the middle (I use a small folding 2-wheel trolley). I'll probably setup there for the lunar eclipse on 31st, if the weather obliges.
Then for darker sites in the Blue Mountains Linden observatory, Table Rock south of Wentworth falls, Leura Oval, Mt Blackheath or Hargraves Lookout... or Mt Banks on Bells Line of Rd west of Mt Tomah. Blackheath/Mt Banks are approx 2 hours drive.
