Recently I went to NZ and visited the Mt John observatory. Night sky-gazing tours are run there (as a commercial venture). Does anyone know of similar tours in Australia?

I'm particularly interested in locations with dark skies and ideally a bit of height, well suited to fainter deep-sky objects. There is, for example, an observatory tour in Melbourne but it would be difficult to see deep sky objects well as Melbourne has quite a light-polluted night sky, as well as mostly being close to sea-level.
