It looks like west of Yass is the go from Wollongong. The public park at Jugiong has some potential, though the tall trees on the nth side of the road (park is on the sth side) could be a problem. But there is a sporting field or race track that has plenty of open space. If you head out on the road to Temora you can go more directly west than by staying on the highway. The village of Binalong is supposed to have a rest area but I couldn't find it on Google street view. Likewise Harden doesn't look good. However the tiny speck called Wallendbeen has a great spot. Near the intersection of the Olympic Hwy and Burley Griffin Way is a rest area with shelters, toilets and lots of open space on the north side. Withe the sun only being at 10 degrees elevation at ingress flat horizons are paramount.
The hopeful news of course is that the weather here now is not as bad as the predictions said. In fact I often find that Skippy Skies and 7Timer are pessimistic - something that has caused me to miss some potential obs nights.
