About once every 2 years I do a bit of driving for my job. (quick 3 month trip around every state in OZ to update 50+ remote computer systems)
I always time my run so that I stop at Coonabarabran for the night.
There is a combined Tai restaurant, mini golf, and Observatory there called "Skywatch Observatory and Astro Mini-golf".
Bit of a weird combination, but if you like great Tai food, and looking at dark skys, its a fun night. (can't say I've sampled the mini golf).
The skys round there are SOooo dark, but the down side is its B'cold.
(how cold? well, I went for a training bike ride to Siding Springs at 4am and my water bottle froze solid 10 km out of town!)
There's a wayside park / camping ground about 5k out of town towards the Warrumbungles that has no lights around it - looks like it would be a good stay if you had a tent and a scope with you.

ps. ask for "Meryls Special" at the restaurant
