Its a tough problem to be honest - Once you get past Ipswich by 45 mins you can get some splendid views. To get really dark sky then Toowoomba becomes an issue and one has to travel away from there which makes it a substantial hike.
Try hooking up with one of the local clubs and drawing on their knowledge - they all have plenty of great spots and will get out to a decent site once a month at least.
If you want to go with the family, try twinstars guesthouse at Stanthorpe - an experienced astronomer in residence and plenty for the tribe to do during the day...
