Was hunting around the northern suburbs of the "Gong" this morning looking for a suitable dark site but every vantage point has megawatts of street lighting specially designed to prevent everyone from seeing the sky, so I gave up in frustration. The high cloud was putting a damper on any prospect of imaging the comet as well.
On reading your efforts in finding a suitable vantage point it occurred to me that Governor Game Lookout above Garie Beach may be a spot worth investigating, unless the National Parks have closed it off in their zeal to protect us all and/or installed lighting. From what I remember of the place it has panoramic views out over the coast.
The next clear morning I may head up there to suss out its suitability as every other lookout in Wollongong is lit up like the proverbial xmas tree and is therefore useless.
