A brief addition. I went to check out a likely observing site in the Dandenongs. [I think it will be great - Melbourne glow to the west, but great views south and not bad north and east. And best of all, it's only 35 min from home!]
I could not see Comet McNaught with naked eye. Tracked it down in my 20x80s, but not until 30 min after moonrise. In anything but dark skies, I'm quite sure binoculars are needed to see the Comet now.
