The good news is... head some 20 km out of Wagga and you will be under reasonably dark skies. If you are prepared to travel 50 km or more you could be under almost black skies - and this makes a BIG difference!
I suggest you look for
Rob_K's observation reports posted to this forum - he has a 4½" Tasco and observes under dark conditions... You will be amazed to see what the possibilities are...
