John,
Firstly, Welcome.
Facing NNW from Cleveland will put you looking directly at the City, along with the associated sky glow.
Observing from the rear of the house will be your best bet (if there's room)

I lived at Cleveland for a few yrs (still have the house there near the show grounds).
The sky was reasonably dark considering the proximity to the CBD. From directly north, to the east & around to the SSW was good sky.
Unfortunately the NNW was washed out with Sky Glow.

I hope you can find a good position in the back yard.


Cheers, Bryan
