True that. We have a number such of opportunities on Port Phillip Bay with anywhere between 10-30km clear water over relatively wide views (90 to almost 270 degrees depending on where you're situated). I have a nearby favourite in Mentone (Sky Brightness of 1.1 mcd/m^2) which is about 3 times darker than home base (3.1 mcd/m^2/SQM 18.8/Bortle~7) and only about 10-15minutes away. I also like the coast from a "no" or little light pollution over the water standpoint, provided I'm not facing the CBD or a big-suburb over that water. Now I just need to get out there on some "essential" travel.
