Question dark sky locations?

Hi guys
Am relatively new to astronomy having bought my first scope only a year ago. Progresion was 76mm Newt, 114mm newt and now thanks to an awesome bargain on Ebay and a healthy dose of aperture fever a 14 inch goto Dob from Sky Watcher. Loving the dob but where i live suffers from terrible light pollution. Was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for dark sky locations achievable from Sydney as a day trip? I have tried some of my local parks and even a golf coarse with some pretty good results including eta carina and the somberro. But would like to try for darker skies and see what this scope can really achieve
