The place is surrounded by big mountains and you have Bluescope and a lot of very polluting industries in the area - light pollution , dust emissions , smoke emissions (will be concentrated at night time as is seems the tradition with lots of companies .... like people aren't aware of this).

Viewing conditions in The Gong , near Kembla and most places near there will be horrible I think.

I expect you'd have an effect akin to what happens in LA (where lots of the pollution gets trapped by the mountains over the narrow coastal plain and it just accumulates until a storm comes along and the rain clears some of it).

You'd need to travel a fair way S or W to get away from the light pollution and the pollution ploom , especially in summer when the sea breezes are the prevailing effect in the evenings.
