I used to organise star-gazing parties for my (now former) workmates, on John's Hill ( Melway 124 K11). Also on one occasion, couple of people from this forum were present as well, and it was a great experience. Sometimes I go there on photo-safari :-)
This is public place, a lookout, but not very crowded, and significantly less light polluted than Mt Waverley (definitely not a really dark site).
Perhaps I will try to organise something again next month or later. If I do, I will post the announcement here.
There is another place, on Mt Martha (Briars), where some people are gathering over weekends (it is a private property, so invitation and/or announcement is required. Unfortunately I was never there (always something more important happened on those weekends), however I intend to be there on first occasion.
