I have significantly less issues with dew at Heathcote (other side of Heathcote to the site you’re referring to) than in Melbourne. In Melbourne I set up on grass in my backyard, some nights the dew isn’t too bad but other nights... I gave up using my newts in Melbourne as without a dew heater on the secondary it could dew over not too long after the primary (12”) finally cools down.
The dew shield on my 4” is quite short so I put a strap on that otherwise it would dew over pretty quickly and I’ve recently started using eye piece heaters. Even when I didn’t look through the EP’s they would dew over!
