It can be tricky Leo, I just checked Lithgow on Maps, surrounded by Mountains
I do see a hell-of-a-Spot to hunt Comets,, Hassen Walls Lookout is perfect, all you need is some good clear skies,,,binoculars wont see much of the tail though the comets coma will appear as a fuzzy blurry little star .
Camera with a 30-50mm lens should expose it, then zero in with a longer lens..
