Hi Bojan,
The star and moon will be at 17degrees altitude if observed from Melbourne.
Attached is to profile of the lunar limb for Melbourne's longitude. The blue dashed line is the Watts profile and the red and green dots represent historic observations. red are disappearances green are reappearances. As you can see, to get a chance of observing at least 4 events you want to observe somewhere around 1.5 to 2km south of the smooth profile line.
Here is an interactive Google map...

adjust the range to -1.5km and -2.0km and zoom in to find a site between the grey lines.
