Mental - checked out Govett's Leap on Saturday night - it has no streetlight these days though there were kids fooling around in cars. The trees don't help though, so the Katoomba airfield is a better compromise if you want to be out of the wind and still have a decent view of the sky.
Another area I've tried is Centennial Glen - this is the walled valley below Mt Victoria, there is a road down there from Shipley Plateau - its always dead calm in there (I've landed there in my paraglider by day), dark with good skies. Only problems are wombats and possums which are quite plentiful down there and they'll come right up to you in the dark.
