Where I live in Brisbane, I have to set Stellarium to emulate Bortle 8, to make it show how few stars are visible to the naked eye here. Comparing what I see in planispheres, to what my naked eyes can see, the vast majority of those stars do not exist in the sky here. They're washed out from visibility due to the light pollution.
Look at the light pollution map, and then look at Nundah, Brisbane in it.
