Mark that would be great! I'm about to go on 6 wks holidays (not going away though) so let me know when your heading up this way. If I know when your coming we might be able to go and play here
http://www.mapletonss.qld.edu.au/obs.../indexpage.htm . I help out running nights up there and can get access when there are no tour/shows running. Even if not, its still a good dark site only 10 minutes from Nambour.
Or I can pop up to Eumundi np. btw how long has it been since you've been to Eumundi? In the last 12 months or so? Its criminal what they have done to the lovely dark skies up there with the lighting at the new Eumundi highway entrances. I sometimes go out to the Obi Obi near Kenilworth and you can easily see the glow from the intersections over the top of the ranges inbetween Eumundi and Kenilworth.
Let me know when you are thinking of coming up
Clear skies and dark nights
