Thank everybody!
Unfortunately in Italy there isn't one place with a perfect dark sky and if I going to other side of the world, I want a perfect sky

Here is good: http://www.mudgeeobservatory.com.au/

about a 3.5 hour drive from Sydney
It's a good place but I watched that there is Mudgee that has more than 8000 peolpe at only 5 km and on the map I can watch color map is gray and green and not black.

Will you have a car to get around with?
I will rent a car, hoping to haven't crash because you have right hand drive .

What type of telescope will you be bringing, or will you rely on something from here in Australia to use? How complex photography will you want to do?
I think to bring 80ED refractor on eq3 mount with canon 350D with zeiss lens (25mm,35mm,85mm). I like long exposure wide field and I want to watch first time Magellans clouds.

I will arrive on 10 december and I think to observe from 11 to 13 when moon sets early. I will come back 3 jannuary when will be new moon but I can't spend lasts day of year observing.

Dangerous animals?
I hate only poisonous animals, no problems for others.

The AAO near Coonabarabran is closed at night
In La Palma (Canary island) near observatory is closed but there are some squares when you can observe (don't using light). Cooberababran is perfect because is height and sky in more clear.

I will send an e-mail to ask if there is a pleace to observe.
