Jokes aside, Belanglo is probably the easiest dark site to get to for someone coming from Sydney. The turn off is about 20 minutes drive further down the freeway from the Mittagong exit. Another 10 minutes and you will be at the campground which has no lights. Macarthur astro society use the Ranger's grounds not far from the camping area.
I like High Range west of Mittagong. Perhaps slightly closer than Belanglo, but you need local knowledge to find the dark sky spots.
Parks and sporting grounds are a bit of a lottery as you never know who might be using them when you want to.
If you want a shorter drive Colo Vale may be an option. The St Paul's church ground may be suitable. Also Jurd Park.
