It's Bortle 4.5, better than Bortle 9

Found a new place in Sydney, North Turramurra sport field car park. Once they stop playing soccer and turn off the lights its drops from about Bortle (there is no number) to around Bortle 4.5. You can actually see the Milky Way, but once your eyes are dark adjusted you could read a book under the sky glow. Still it's better than Glebe and not so far from me.

They lock it up around 12am, but if you are polite to the security guard they may leave it unlocked so you can leave.
