This was my 'special spot' over the last few years but as I haven't been there in over a year I'll spill about it.

180 Lynes Rd just north of Tooradin and about 15min out of Cranbourne. -38.189097, 145.363473

Darker than MPAS Briars site and much closer for non peninsular people.
Pull south into the drive off the road and immediately turn to the right onto the public shoulder. Be careful of the rut between the shoulder and the road you cant drive over it. Do a google street view to get the idea.

Its a nice wide strip to set up on and has excellent horizons. Careful positioning will see trees shielding the distant lights at the highway. If you can tolerate the occasional car passing every 30 min to 1hr then its got to be one of the darkest and best spots close to Melbourne, only downside is you're off the side of a public road and maybe feeling a little exposed.
