The seeing down here in the Bellarine varies from bad to worse!
Luckily for spectroscopy it's not a killer.
The LMDSS (the ASV dark sky site) was selected as being "pretty good" - just south of Bendigo. ( I used to observe from Heathcote, Vic and on a good night it was very good!)
The best night I've experienced in Australia was back in the late 1970's when we went caravanning just north of Hawker - absolutely magic!!!
The Zodiacal light was so bright and noticeable - I initially wondered what big town could be west of us.
I'd love to go back there.....
