Trido,
You're in luck. At the end of this month you can go to Queensland Astrofest. Listed as one of the top 10 star parties in the world.

It's an easy drive from Brisbane, but the sky's are dark and some of the scopes are HUGE!
Quite a few members of IceInSpace will be going.
If you're considering buying a scope, this is the place to go to see a wide range of setups. The last Friday and Saturday nights are the biggest, and during the day, the biggest telescope retailers from across the country showcase their wares. Bring money!
