Crago Observitory has dark skies and is open to the public on saturdays closest to last quarter moon after 8pm. Best to contact Adrian Saw (the number is in the back of ASTRONOMY 2007). Location is at Bowen Mtn about 10mins past North Richmond via Grose Vale Rd (just up the road from me).
There is a pic in the back of the current issue of SKY & TELESCOPE showing the observitory and the milky way centered on Scorpio.
