Hi Darius.
There's mogo creek, north of sydney up past Kulnura. It's close to the Koolang Observatory, so you could perhaps stop in at the observatory for a visit, attend one of their night shows or talks and look through some telescopes?
Otherwise, I guess there's some places up in the blue mountains or the southern highlands. I'm just not sure of exactly where.
The problem with wanting your 4 yr old to see things, is that it's not dark until 9pm which is way past my (almost 4 years old) daughters bed time! If it's a clear, moonless, cloudless night though, you might wake him up around midnight and let him see all the stars visible from a dark sky.
Mars will be in the north just before midnight, a bright red star about 30deg above the horizon. And if he's up early, Venus will be shining brightly in the East before dawn.
Good luck!
