Carlos,
It is unlikely you will find a dark observing spot by asking where it is and then hoping to drive out and observe. reason being, any easily identified place like a sports oval or park will no doubt have lights nearby.
I live in the southern highlands and there are a number of good observing sites down here, but it would be difficult to find them without local help and almost impossible by night. You need to scout out places by day, and then return sometime later. I have found a number of good sites like this, one in particular which I used for may years was just the dead end of a country road -it is still usable but there are now two house driveways there instead of two farmgates.
Currently I work a lot in Whyalla South Australia. After a few attempts I found a wonderful spot 25km out of town which I use. After a couple of months I learned it was also used by the local branch of the S.A. astronomical society! A common quest will often come to the same conclusion!
Go for a drive down to the villages of Yerrinbool and Colo Vale - you may find something ideal in this area, the advantage of the southern highlands is that due north is towards Katoomba and not Sydney, so northern objects are much more easily seen.
