I'd say closer to absolutely futile than annoying - especially in summer.
It can be a beautiful clear day and twilight, and just as it gets dark the clouds roll in from the escarpment. Better in winter, but this still happens occasionally. Best viewing in the Highlands is at High Range or Canyonleigh - both well to the west.
When we moved to Bowral 32 years ago, we were the 5th house in a new development. Could easily see the LMC and SMC naked eye. Not quite as clear now but still can despite about 600 more houses and all the street lights.
