Interesting. I have been wondering about dark sites around here too. I recently moved from Mildura (pretty good dark skies) to the Adelaide hills and am pretty shocked by the number of fuzzies that I can't see anymore. Horrified actually. I was in Blackwood, but am now in Coromandel Valley, which is a bit better but my new place is full of trees and I can only see a postage stamp of sky.
My in-laws re near Nairne and have a big block with good skies, but it is rather far (40 mins drive) to take my 10" dob. So I am in the same situation as you. I was just about to search for an Adelaide astronomy club and see if they had any sites...
