From memory there's a huge cleared lookout on top of Mt Macedon, should be fine for observing. Also in the Grampians last time I was there I can recall a couple of promising spots that likewise would be dark, high and dry but i didn't have a scope with me.
The Kiewa valley around Bright is my pick though - on two occasions I've observed from a weekender in Wandiligong (near Bright) while paragliding by day; very dark, the seeing was good but lots of dew where I was. If you find a place in parkland the dew should be tolerable. In Bright (nearby) there is the rail trail (cycling), a nice river which is good for trout (fly fishing) or the kids can paddle/lilo... and about 90 wineries within an hours drive, not to mention paragliding/hang gliding and anything one usually does...
The north end of Porepunka airstrip should be OK too, if you don't want to go up Mt Buffalo.
