From the outskirts of Mt Magnet the pitch black, clear and steady skies were a revelation. The Milky way cast faint diffuse shadows and mag 6 stars could be seen rising right on the horizon!
I can't wait for my next trip there

Chris & Joe,
I think you both misunderstood my post.
The poster I was replying to, see quote, is from Victoria. I wasn't saying the skies are no good in WA, I said they are no better than outback NSW or western Victoria and worse than I recall from 30 years ago. Outback NSW or western Victoria are a LOT closer to Astroviking (Steve).
Similarly, I would not suggest that West Australians come to outback NSW, SA or west Victoria for the dark skies. I am saying the skies are no better in WA than in dark areas of the eastern states.
