Maybe the light pollution has improved in Sydney? When I observed from there in the early to mid 80's The light pollution was lamentable. I lived in Campbelltown and Penrith, both on the outskirts of Sydney and I never saw the Milky way. Once I was at a Cadet camp in Parramatta and the night sky was reddish and only a few 1st and 2nd magnitude stars were visable.
