I understand that Coonabrabran was chosen not so much for its having pristine dark skies (it doesn't) but for having dark skies convenient to a major city, as it is only a few hundred kms from Sydney.
Outback SA was possibly considered for the same reason, ie it is reasonably proximate to Adelaide, in terms of only being a few hours drive. I understand that it is a lot darker than the Warumbungles.
